+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.ZN XDrawText16
+function is similar to
+.ZN XDrawText
+except that it uses 2-byte or 16-bit characters.
+Both functions allow complex spacing and font shifts between counted strings.
+.LP
+Each text item is processed in turn.
+A font member other than
+.ZN None
+in an item causes the font to be stored in the GC
+and used for subsequent text.
+A text element delta specifies an additional change
+in the position along the x axis before the string is drawn.
+The delta is always added to the character origin
+and is not dependent on any characteristics of the font.
+Each character image, as defined by the font in the GC, is treated as an
+additional mask for a fill operation on the drawable.
+The drawable is modified only where the font character has a bit set to 1.
+If a text item generates a
+.ZN BadFont
+error, the previous text items may have been drawn.
+.LP
+For fonts defined with linear indexing rather than 2-byte matrix indexing,
+each
+.ZN XChar2b
+structure is interpreted as a 16-bit number with byte1 as the
+most significant byte.
+.LP
+Both functions use these GC components:
+function, plane-mask, fill-style, font, subwindow-mode,
+clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.
+They also use these GC mode-dependent components:
+foreground, background, tile, stipple, tile-stipple-x-origin,
+and tile-stipple-y-origin.
+.LP
+.ZN XDrawText
+and
+.ZN XDrawText16
+can generate
+.ZN BadDrawable ,
+.ZN BadFont ,
+.ZN BadGC ,
+and
+.ZN BadMatch
+errors.
+.SH STRUCTURES
+The
+.ZN XTextItem
+and
+.ZN XTextItem16
+structures contain:
+.LP
+.Ds 0
+.TA .5i 3i
+.ta .5i 3i
+typedef struct {
+ char *chars; /\&* pointer to string */
+ int nchars; /\&* number of characters */
+ int delta; /\&* delta between strings */
+ Font font; /\&* Font to print it in, None don't change */
+} XTextItem;
+.De

+.Ds 0
+.TA .5i 3i
+.ta .5i 3i
+typedef struct {
+ XChar2b *chars; /\&* pointer to two-byte characters */
+ int nchars; /\&* number of characters */
+ int delta; /\&* delta between strings */
+ Font font; /\&* font to print it in, None don't change */
+} XTextItem16;
+.De
+.LP
+If the font member is not
+.ZN None ,
+the font is changed before printing and also is stored in the GC.
+If an error was generated during text drawing,
+the previous items may have been drawn.
+The baseline of the characters are drawn starting at the x and y
+coordinates that you pass in the text drawing functions.
+.LP
+For example, consider the background rectangle drawn by
+.ZN XDrawImageString .
+If you want the upper-left corner of the background rectangle
+to be at pixel coordinate (x,y), pass the (x,y + ascent)
+as the baseline origin coordinates to the text functions.
+The ascent is the font ascent, as given in the
+.ZN XFontStruct
+structure.
+If you want the lower-left corner of the background rectangle
+to be at pixel coordinate (x,y), pass the (x,y \- descent + 1)
+as the baseline origin coordinates to the text functions.
+The descent is the font descent, as given in the
+.ZN XFontStruct
+structure.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadDrawable
+A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window or Pixmap.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadFont
+A value for a Font or GContext argument does not name a defined Font.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadGC
+A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GContext.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadMatch
+An
+.ZN InputOnly
+window is used as a Drawable.
