Maybe i must add define to the Xlib.
I'm not sure what exactly you mean, but XDrawString is defined in xc/lib/X11/Text.c . If you want to modify XDrawString you may also need to modify similar functions such as XDrawImageString (ImText.c), XDrawString16 (Text16.c) and XDrawImageString16 (ImText16.c). Maybe also change some functions of Xft. But are you sure that this is what you want to do? If the application won't be aware of your transformation, some strange side-effects can happen. Consider the case where the user selects part of of a text with the mouse. That selected part needs to be drawn seperately, in a different XDrawString call, and thus will be transformed seperately. Generally The right place to add such a support is generally the widget-set level. For instance, have a look at pango (http://pango.org/) which is used in gtk2 . QT is also a prime candidate (even though QT3 is probably deep into a feature freeze right now, while in the last beta).
