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

- void Xutf8DrawText(Display *display, Drawable d,
GC 
- gc, int x, int y, XmbTextItem *items, int nitems); 
- 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 coordinatesXy. 
The XmbDrawText,   XwcDrawText
  and  Xutf8DrawText   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,   XwcDrawText
  and Xutf8DrawText   do not perform any context-dependent rendering between
text segments. Clients may compute the drawing metrics by passing each text
segment to XmbTextExtents,   XwcTextExtents,   Xutf8TextExtents   or XmbTextPerCharExtents,
  XwcTextPerCharExtents.   Xutf8TextPerCharExtents.   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. 
The function Xutf8DrawText   is an XFree86 extension introduced
in XFree86 4.0.2. Its presence is indicated by the macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.
