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 primary draw
direction from the drawing origin to the origin of the next
character to be drawn, assuming 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.
