     NAME
          XmbDrawText, XwcDrawText - draw text using multiple font
          sets

     SYNTAX
          void XmbDrawText(display, d, gc, x, y, items, nitems)
                Display *display;
                Drawable d;
                GC gc;
                int x, y;
                XmbTextItem *items;
                int nitems;

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

     ARGUMENTS
          d         Specifies the drawable.

          display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

          gc        Specifies the GC.

          items     Specifies an array of text items.

          nitems    Specifies the number of text items in the array.

          x
          y         Specify the x and y coordinates.

     DESCRIPTION
          The XmbDrawText and XwcDrawText functions allow complex
          spacing and font set shifts between 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 specifies 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 text_items list.  Leading text
          items with a font_set member set to None will not be drawn.

          XmbDrawText and XwcDrawText do not perform any context-
          dependent rendering between text segments.  Clients may
          compute the drawing metrics by passing each text segment to
          XmbTextExtents and XwcTextExtents or XmbTextPerCharExtents
          and XwcTextPerCharExtents.  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.

     STRUCTURES
          The XmbTextItem structure contains:
          typedef struct {
               char *chars;        /* pointer to string */
               int nchars;         /* number of bytes */
               int delta;          /* pixel delta between strings */
               XFontSet font_set;  /* fonts, None means don't change */
          } XmbTextItem;
     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;
