glutBitmapWidth(void *font, int character);

A bitmapped font identifier.

A character code.

Returns the horizontal OpenGL raster position offset for a

in a bitmapped

It is also an upper bound on the width of the bitmapped glyph for

though not all letters will use their full width, especially fixed-width fonts.

Returns 0 if the

is out of the inclusive range [0,255] or if the

is invalid.

In GLUT, some glyphs could render to the left of the starting position, in some fonts. OpenGLUT's fonts all position all of their glyphs to start at, or to the right of, the initial position.
