XmbTextExtents, XwcTextExtents, Xutf8TextExtents - compute text extents

font_set  Specifies the font set.

       num_bytes Specifies the number of bytes in the string argument.

       num_wchars
                 Specifies the number of characters in the string argument.

       overall_ink_return
                 Returns the overall ink dimensions.

       overall_logical_return
                 Returns the overall logical dimensions.

       string    Specifies the character string.

       The XmbTextExtents, XwcTextExtents and Xutf8TextExtents functions set the  components  of  the  specified
       overall_ink_return and overall_logical_return arguments to the overall bounding box of the string's image
       and  a  logical  bounding  box  for  spacing  purposes,  respectively.  They return the value returned by
       XmbTextEscapement, XwcTextEscapement or Xutf8TextEscapement.  These metrics are relative to  the  drawing
       origin of the string, using the fonts loaded for the specified font set.

       If  the  overall_ink_return argument is non-NULL, it is set to the bounding box of the string's character
       ink.  The overall_ink_return for a nondescending, horizontally drawn Latin  character  is  conventionally
       entirely   above   the  baseline;  that  is,  overall_ink_return.height  <=  -overall_ink_return.y.   The
       overall_ink_return for a nonkerned character is entirely at, and to the right of, the  origin;  that  is,
       overall_ink_return.x  >=  0.   A  character  consisting  of  a  single  pixel  at  the  origin  would set
       overall_ink_return fields y = 0, x = 0, width = 1, and height = 1.

       If the overall_logical_return argument is non-NULL, it is set to the bounding box that  provides  minimum
       spacing  to  other  graphical  features  for the string.  Other graphical features, for example, a border
       surrounding the text, should not intersect this rectangle.

       When the XFontSet has missing charsets, metrics for each unavailable character are taken from the default
       string returned by XCreateFontSet so that the metrics represent the text as it will  actually  be  drawn.
       The behavior for an invalid codepoint is undefined.

       The  function  Xutf8TextExtents  is  an extension introduced by The XFree86 Project, Inc., in their 4.0.2
       release.  Its presence is indicated by the macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.
