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.
