See http://developer.gnome.org/pango/stable/PangoMarkupFormat.html for the
syntax for subscripts and superscripts.

What do you mean by ‘implementing Pango formatting'?  I suppose you are
not writing a Pango backend, i.e. you are not *implementing* any text
rendering yourself.

If you just want to use Pango to render Greek text, subscripts,
superscripts, Cyrillic, math symbols or whatever, use UTF-8:

GtkWidget *label = gtk_label_new("ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡλίου μετάστηθι");

or

GtkWidget *label = gtk_label_new("a² + b² = c²");

That's it.

Function gtk_label_set_markup() with Pango markup

http://developer.gnome.org/pango/stable/PangoMarkupFormat.html

can be used for more complex indexes and exponents and other stuff in
labels.

Greek is the same as English - just use the Unicode characters - even
for polytonic Greek in most cases.

For superscript and subscript you use  and  as in HTML. These
are not needed for Greek accents such as rough breathing, of course.

pango or any other way to format text

2012-05-14 Thread Rudra Banerjee 
Can anybody please take some time to show me simple way of implementing pango 
formatting to get greek letters, subscripts and superscripts in gtk2+?
A minimal(complete with headers) example will be very appriciated.
