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.
