These links should help you understand: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/unstable/GtkTextBuffer.html#gtk-text-buffer-register-serialize-format https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/unstable/GtkTextBuffer.html#gtk-text-buffer-register-serialize-tagset GtkTextBuffer does not have any feature to serialize into pango markup format, I suppose it would be possible to create such a serialization but it would probably be lossy (I'm not sure pango markup can express everything that can be expressed with GtkTextTags in a GtkTextBuffer, notably transparency in text foreground/background colors). The above two links should give you the means to serialize into an internal GTK+ format which can later be used to deserialize it into another GtkTextBuffer.
