     SYNTAX
          int XmbTextEscapement(font_set, string, num_bytes)
                XFontSet font_set;
                char *string;
                int num_bytes;

          int XwcTextEscapement(font_set, string, num_wchars)
                XFontSet font_set;
                wchar_t *string;
                int num_wchars;

     ARGUMENTS
          font_set  Specifies the font set.

          num_bytes Specifies the number of bytes in the string
                    argument.

          num_wchars
                    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 primary draw
          direction from the drawing origin to the origin of the next
          character to be drawn, assuming that the rendering of the
          next character is not dependent on the supplied string.

          Regardless of the character rendering order, the escapement
          is always positive.
