[Xcb] Anyone ever used "XCBRenderCompositeGlyphs"

[Yang JianJun]

hi lan,
I have checked out the latest git sources. Referring to the implementation
of
XRenderCompositeString8 in libXrender, I try to implement
xcb_render_composite_string_8
simply, but it does not work well.

<code>
typedef struct {
 uint8_t  len;
 uint8_t  pad1;
 uint16_t pad2;
 int16_t   deltax;
 int16_t   deltay;
} xGlyphElt;
void
xcb_render_composite_string_8 (xcb_connection_t     *dpy,
    int      op,
    xcb_render_picture_t     src,
    xcb_render_picture_t     dst,
    const xcb_render_pictformat_t  mask_format,
    xcb_render_glyphset_t     glyphset,
    int      src_x,
    int      src_y,
    int      xDst,
    int      yDst,
    const char     *string, /* a list of xcb_render_glyph_t */
    int      nchar) /* number of xcb_render_glyph_t */
{
 int    nbytes;
 xGlyphElt *elt;
  if (nchar)
  {
  nbytes = (nchar + sizeof(xGlyphElt) + 3) & ~3;
  elt = (xGlyphElt *)malloc(nbytes);
  elt->len = nchar;
  elt->deltax = xDst;
  elt->deltay = yDst;
  memcpy ((char *) (elt + 1), string, nchar);
  }
 xcb_render_composite_glyphs_8  (dpy,op,src,dst,mask_format,glyphset,
     src_x,src_y,nbytes,(uint8_t *)elt);
}
</code>

I think the problem is how to convert a list of xcb_render_glyph_t to an
array  of bytes(glyphcmds).
Any suggestion to this will be of great help.
