       int    Xutf8TextEscapement(XFontSet   font_set,   char   *string,   int
              num_bytes);

DESCRIPTION

       The XmbTextEscapement, XwcTextEscapement and Xutf8TextEscapement  func-
       tions  return  the  escapement  in  pixels of the specified string as a
       value, using the fonts loaded for the specified font set.  The  escape-
       ment  is  the distance in pixels in the primary draw direction from the
       drawing origin to the origin of the next character to be drawn,  assum-
       ing  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.

       The  function  Xutf8TextEscapement  is  an  extension introduced by The
       XFree86 Project, Inc., in their 4.0.2 release.  Its presence  is  indi-
       cated by the macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.
