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 dis‐
tance in pixels in the primary 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 supplied string.
Regardless of the character rendering order, the escapement is always
positive.
