+.SH NOTES
+Unlike XDrawString and XDrawString16,
+these functions send no more than 255 characters at a time to the server.
+When the total number of characters to be sent is larger than 255,
+these functions split the string into chunks up to 255 characters.
+After sending each chunk,
+these functions query the server to determine the actual text extent.
