	     XFontSet font_set;
	     char *string;
	     int num_bytes;

       int XwcTextEscapement(font_set, string, num_wchars)
	     XFontSet font_set;
	     wchar_t *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 pri
       mary draw direction from the drawing origin to the origin
       of the next character to be drawn, assuming that the ren
       dering of the next character is not dependent on the sup
       plied string.

       Regardless of the character rendering order, the escape
       ment is always positive.
