Oh, I had assumed that I could use a pango.attrlist with a textbuffer.
What a pain...

We are also using undobuffer in our code
(https://bitbucket.org/tiax/gtk-textbuffer-with-undo/src/3eccc06ca82d/undobuffer.py),
so I'll have to make some changes to implement both. I may take a look
at your code, but what I want is just a function that converts between
text markup (in whatever format is best) to something I can use with
the buffer.

The best solution may be to analyze your code and roll my own similar
solution. Thanks for the suggestion.
