If you're going to work with ruby-gtk2 I highly recommend joining the
mailing list.

http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=53614

The people there are friendly and helpful and answer questions like
yours all the time.  In fact they already *have* answered it!  I
searched for "Pango" on the sourceforge archive and found this:

There are also lots of of sample code examples in the Ruby-Gnome
distribution.  I found these very helpful in getting up to speed.

Hope this helps,
