NAME
       glutBitmapWidth  -  returns the width of a bitmap character, glutBitmapLength returns the length of a
       bitmap font string.

SYNTAX
       int glutBitmapWidth(void *font, int character)
       int glutBitmapLength(void *font, const unsigned char *string)

ARGUMENTS
       font      Bitmap font to use.  For valid values, see the glutBitmapCharacter description.

       character Character to return width of (not confined to 8 bits).

       string    Text string (8-bit characters), nul terminated.

DESCRIPTION
       glutBitmapWidth returns the width in pixels of a bitmap character in a supported bitmap  font.  While
       the width of characters in a font may vary (though fixed width fonts do not vary), the maximum height
       characteristics of a particular font are fixed.

       glutBitmapLength returns the length in pixels of a string (8-bit characters).  This length is equiva-lent equivalent
       lent to summing all the widths returned by glutBitmapWidth for each character in the string.
