>From the API docs of GtkTextView:

"void        gtk_text_view_set_tabs          (GtkTextView *text_view,
                                             PangoTabArray *tabs);

Sets the default tab stops for paragraphs in text_view. Tags in the
buffer may override the default."

So it seems to imply that it is possible to do what you want with
tags... dunno the details though :)
