1)
PolyText8 says:
p unused, p=pad(n) (p is always 0 or 1)
but couldn't p be 2 or 3 ?
No, it must be 0 or 1. The client has to insert a zero
item to ensure this. Xlib takes care of this.
2)
TEXTITEM16 says:
1 n number of CHAR2Bs in string (cannot be 255)
1 INT8 delta
n STRING16 string
shouldn't it say ?
2n STRING16 string
Yes.
