Look into Wine/OCAPI DWrite.dll

[the-r3dacted]

Research into DirectWrite for Supermium has me curious about if it could work for r3dfox. The stock dll is compatible with 7, but not RTM or Vista though, and those are current r3dfox targets. However provided is a modded version compatible with XP, but with the same closed source progwrp style hacks. I thought about this, and remembered that Wine and OCAPI have their own DWrite implementation, and maybe this would be used instead.

I figure this could help with modern Cairo since color font support and other things prevent me from compiling latest with a target of 601. If we swap to Wine/OCAPI DWrite.dll we could support color fonts and other cool stuff, and theoretically have DirectWrite on XP if XP is ever targeted. This isn't that big of an issue for now though.

@e3kskoy7wqk We should probably either transfer this issue to your repo or just open a new issue there as it's an issue with the legacy Windows support.
