NAME
       XmbDrawString, XwcDrawString, Xutf8DrawString - draw text using a single font set

SYNTAX
       void XmbDrawString(Display *display, Drawable d, XFontSet font_set, GC gc, int x, int y, char
              *string, int num_bytes);

       void XwcDrawString(Display *display, Drawable d, XFontSet font_set, GC gc, int x, int y, wchar_t
              *string, int num_wchars);

       void Xutf8DrawString(Display *display, Drawable d, XFontSet font_set, GC gc, int x, int y, char
              *string, int num_bytes);

ARGUMENTS
       d         Specifies the drawable.

DESCRIPTION
       The XmbDrawString, XwcDrawString and Xutf8DrawString functions draw the specified text with the fore-ground foreground
       ground pixel.  When the XFontSet has missing charsets, each unavailable character is drawn with the
       default string returned by XCreateFontSet.  The behavior for an invalid codepoint is undefined.

       The function Xutf8DrawString is an extension introduced by The XFree86 Project, Inc. in their 4.0.2
       release. Its presence is indicated by the macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.
