    <p>Hello Dheeraj,</p>
    I think fontconfig.h does not provide any function calculating
    string or character width.<br>
    But Xft.h does.<br>
    You extract pertinent data from your FcPattern like family, size,
    slant, weight and for you spacing which must be 0.<br>
    Then you open your font like this (example) :
    <p>XftFont * font=XftFontOpenName(display,screen,newFont);</p>
    <p>where newFont could be "Liberation
      Sans-12:bold:roman:proportional"</p>
    <p>You can now calculate the width of the character 'm' via this
      command :<br>
    </p>
    XGlyphInfo glyphInfo;<br>
    XftTextExtentsUtf8 (display,font,"m",1,&glyphInfo);
    <p>glyphInfo.width contains the width of your character<br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
