glutBitmapWidth - returns the width of a bitmap character.
glutBitmapLength returns the length of a bitmap font string.
int glutBitmapWidth (void *font, int character); int glutBitmapLength (void *font, const unsigned char *string);
glutBitmapWidth returns the width in pixels of a bitmap character in a supported bitmap font. While the width of characters in a font may vary (though fixed width fonts do not vary), the maximum height characteris- tics of a particular font are fixed.
glutBitmapLength returns the length in pixels of a string (8-bit char- acters). This length is equivalent to summing all the widths returned by glutBitmapWidth for each character in the string.
