NAME
       XmbTextEscapement, XwcTextEscapement - obtain the escape-
       ment of text

SYNTAX
       int XmbTextEscapement(fontset, string, numbytes)
             XFontSet fontset;
             char *string;
             int numbytes;

       int XwcTextEscapement(fontset, string, numwchars)
             XFontSet fontset;
             wchar_t *string;
             int numwchars;

ARGUMENTS
       fontset  Specifies the font set.

       numbytes Specifies the number of bytes in the string
                 argument.

       numwchars
                 Specifies the number of characters in the string
                 argument.

       string    Specifies the character string.

DESCRIPTION
       The XmbTextEscapement and XwcTextEscapement functions
       return the escapement in pixels of the specified string as
       a value, using the fonts loaded for the specified font
       set.  The escapement is the distance in pixels in the pri-
       mary draw direction from the drawing origin to the origin
       of the next character to be drawn, assuming that the ren-
       dering of the next character is not dependent on the sup-
       plied string.

       Regardless of the character rendering order, the escape-
       ment is always positive.
