SYNTAX
       int XmbTextEscapement(fontset, string, numbytes)

             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 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.
