Does it work by faking an IE8 install (version, registry, etc.). > I've added a win7 verb to winetricks, and would accept an ie8 verb patch > if someone sent it, I have some success with using the IE7 script.

This means that Wine will need to provide its own implementation. Also, the Firefox team have also been working on Direct2D/DirectWrite support [1] [2], so that may also be useful. NOTE: The Direct2D/DirectWrite APIs are built on top of the Direct3D 10 APIs (see, e.g. the Firefox patches and discussions on testing the feature), so needs a decent(ish) implementation of D3D 10 first.
