ARGUMENTS
count Specifies the character count in the specified string.

Name
XTextWidth - get the width in pixels of an 8-bit character string, locally.
Synopsis
int XTextWidth(font_struct, string, count)
XFontStruct *font_struct;
char *string;
int count;
Arguments
font_struct
Specifies the font description structure of the font in which you want to draw the string.
string Specifies the character string whose width is to be returned.
count Specifies the character count in string.
Returns
The width in pixels.
Description
XTextWidth() returns the width in pixels of the specified string using the specified font. This is the sum of the XCharStruct.width for
each character in the string. This is also equivalent to the value of overall.width returned by XQueryTextExtents() or XTextExtents().
The calculation is done assuming 8-bit font indexing.
