try using the ink extents variant.
That's exactly what I have been using but my experience shows that it seems to be about twice as big in width than I expected:
gtk_print_context_create_pango_layout (pc);
pango_layout_set_text (layout, text, -1);
pango_layout_context_changed (layout);
pango_layout_get_extents (layout, &ink, &log);
g_object_unref (layout);
return (gdouble)ink.width / PANGO_SCALE;
This code above returns widths about twice as expected. Dividing by 2 produces better results that closely resemble what I expected.
