I wonder if it needs to be so complicated (maybe I don't understand). I draw text on a drawing area widget with: const char *txt = "hello world!"; PangoLayout *layout = gtk_widget_create_pango_layout( widget, txt ); gdk_draw_layout( widget->window, widget->style->fg_gc[my_paint_state], left, top + ascent, layout ); g_object_unref( layout ); This works for me on linux and win32. Also, do you really need the off-screen pixmap for "field"? It would be simpler to just draw in the expose handler.
