	       int num_bytes;

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.
