Yup, xcb only provides access to the actual X11 protocol requests. Thus,
it only provides xcb_query_text_extents().

Well, you take your string, insert zero bytes at odd positions and then
call xcb_query_text_extents().

Of course, you could write a convenience wrapper similar to
XQueryTextExtents().
