Name
  XwcDrawText - draw internationalized wide-character text using multiple font sets.

Synopsis
  void XwcDrawText(display, drawable, gc, x, y, items, nitems)
	Display *display;
	Drawable drawable;
	GC gc;
	int x, y;
	XwcTextItem *items;
	int nitems;

Arguments
  display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

  drawable  Specifies the drawable.

  gc	    Specifies the graphics context.

  x, y	    Specifies the starting position and baseline of the text, relative to the origin of the specified drawable.

  items     Specifies an array of text items.

  nitems    Specifies the number of text items in the array.

Availability
  Release 5 and later.

Description
  XwcDrawText()  allows  complex  spacing and font set shifts between wide-character text strings.  Each text item is processed in turn, with
  the origin of a text element advanced in the primary draw direction by the escapement of the previous text item.  A text item delta  speci-
  fies	an additional escapement of the text item drawing origin in the primary draw direction.  A font_set member other than None in an item
  causes the font set to be used for this and subsequent text items in the items list.	Leading text items with font_set member set  to  None
  will not be drawn.

  XwcDrawText()  does  not perform any context-dependent rendering between text segments.  Clients may compute the drawing metrics by passing
  each text segment to XwcTextExtents() or XmbTextPerCharExtents().  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.

  XwcDrawText()  draws	with  fonts  from the font sets of the items list rather than the font of the GC.  For this reason, it may modify the
  font value of the GC.  Except for the font, it uses the same GC components as its pre-X11R5 analog XDrawText().

Structures
  The XwcTextItem structure contains:

     typedef struct {
	 wchar_t *chars;	 /* pointer to wide char string */
	 int nchars;		 /* number of wide characters */
	 int delta;		 /* pixel delta between strings */
	 XFontSet font_set;	 /* fonts, None means don't change */
     } XwcTextItem;
