gtk.CellRendererText has separate properties for changing font 
attributes.  In the case you describe you would set the "weight" 
property to pango.WEIGHT_BOLD and just use "text" rather than "markup".

Unless you need to change the font attributes mid-way through the text 
using the specific attributes will be a little faster than markup and 
won't interfere with searching.
