Hello Dheeraj,
I think fontconfig.h does not provide any function calculating string or character width.But Xft.h does.
You extract pertinent data from your FcPattern like family, size, slant, weight and for you spacing which must be 0.
Then you open your font like this (example) :
XftFont * font=XftFontOpenName(display,screen,newFont);
where newFont could be "Liberation Sans-12:bold:roman:proportional"
You can now calculate the width of the character 'm' via this
command :
XftTextExtentsUtf8 (display,font,"m",1,&glyphInfo);
glyphInfo.width contains the width of your character

DheerajHi Akira,Thanks for the reply.
I know it doesn't affect rendering but I am working on converting text to pdf. So, I need to get the value of width of each character.
CheersDheeraj

Even if you change a value in FC_SPACING property, that won't change
the feel of "Width of each character is different" because that is the
reason why it was PROPORTIONAL. that is just a cache from a font to
query a best font against a request. that won't affect the rendering
directly.
