<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>
  <b>Windows NT/2000/XP</b>: When the graphics mode is set to <b>GM_ADVANCED</b>, you can specify the escapement angle
  of the string independently of the orientation angle of the string's characters.
</p>
<p>
  When the graphics mode is set to <b>GM_COMPATIBLE</b>, Escapement specifies both the escapement and orientation.
  You should set Escapement and Orientation to the same value. 
</p>
<p>
  <b>Windows 95/98/Me</b>: The Escapement member specifies both the escapement and orientation.
  You should set <code>Escapement</code> and <code>Orientation</code> to the same value.
