You don't.

No, you seriously don't.
Unless you want to do something fancy, all you need to do would be (in
 "draw" handler):

  layout = gtk_widget_get_pango_layout(widget)
  ...
  ...work on the layout (via pango API)...
  ...
  pango_cairo_show_layout(cr, layout)
  g_object_unref(layout)

That should cover much of normal text display on a widget.
pango_cairo_layout_path should cover most of the rest.
