	int get_width(
		std::string::const_iterator start, std::string::const_iterator end, CL_Size max_size = CL_Size(0, 0));

Parameters:

str

The source string to parse and render.

start

Detailed description:

Newlines have a width of zero unless you gave them a glyph (which is pretty useless anyways). Other unknown characters have the width of a space in their respective font.
