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.
