Unfortunately, win32 api doesn't have any mechanism to change
the default encoding, including specification in a seperate
parameter. We probably need an MwSetTextEncoding or
something to specify the default text encoding for standard
win32 api calls. You can use the internal MwTextOutExt
which allows a parameter for text encoding, but its not standard.

Thanks for the patch. I could have sworn that a version of the
PCF font subdriver handled these, but looks like they were
removed by yet another contributed patch. I'll get this into
CVS soon so that others can use it, as this may solve
some issues discussed recently.
