SYNOPSIS
  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;

  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.
