If it does work, would you please submit it as a patch for the next

supports monospaced fonts and only works on Windows. It's better than
nothing.
revision 63951
Windows only, compile with -dWINDOWS_LIGATURE
Tested with Cascadia.
I did add a couple of checks. Amended it for right to left languages
(Arabic).
Arabic only works with certain fonts.
And Japanese Katakana seems not to work at all (or I have not found a
supporting font, while without this feature it works with "Deja Vue" and
others).
It appears that this API restricts Windows font substitution abilities.
It might be that in order for all this to work, one has to use the newer
"uniscribe" API.
I also kind of assume that in the current IFDEF code the use of the DX
array (ETO) is wrong. But I could not produce any errors from that / And
it only would happen if NeedETO = True.
So for the moment, this stays highly experimental.
