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.
