Regarding R_get_text_box(), in all of my tests the width of the text box was
wrong.
Also, main.c in d.text.new (6.4.0RC5) contains the comment
/* TODO: get text dimension */
/* R_get_text_box() does not work with rotation and returns a little bit
* bigger dimension than actual text size */
I don't know the vintage of that comment. The problem isn't consistent;
neither d.vect nor d.labels seems to have the same problem, so it was likely
to be some detail of my implementation that I was never able to find and
fix.

I'm aware that XDRIVER is antiquated piece of software that the project does

main questions (and maybe some to follow up):
Does the project intend to retain XDRIVER in the distribution?
Are there any plans to update or upgrade XDRIVER?
No. Monitors (display drivers as separate processes) have been removed
entirely (and permanently) from 7.0.
There doesn't seem to be much point in making significant changes in
6.x, given that it's a dead end. Also, monitors (all monitors, not
just XDRIVER) don't work on Windows.
I'm not sure what problems you were having with R_get_text_box(), but
if we can identify a bug, that should be fixed.
