Draws the given text, expanding any tabs that are contained using the given tab expansion technique. This particular implementation renders in a 1.1 style coordinate system where ints are used and 72dpi is assumed.

Parameters:

s - the source of the text

x - the X origin >= 0

Returns:

the X location at the end of the rendered text

getTabbedTextWidth
