You can use gtk_label_set_markup() and set the internal Layout of the Label using Pango markup, or use gtk_label_get_layout() (it's safe to call this function without realizing the widget first); that way actually have the Label's/a PangoLayout and can modify it as you were used to. There's also gtk_label_get/set_attributes() by which you don't need to get the actual Layout but that runs down to the same thing.
