...of course, given the status of plain C API of gdiplus by Microsoft, there's a chance it's only reproducible only with C++ API and PointF& version of DrawString calls.
There is no such a thing as C++ gdiplus API.
Sure there is. I.e. Graphics.DrawString(const WCHAR*, INT, const Font*, const PointF, const Brush*)
But it seems at least *parts* of it aren't implemented in wine. At very least namespacing seems broken.

With my hack, the string is drawn, without it - not. Now, a result from Windows is necessary, but even I was registered on WineTestBot (which I'm not), with this code there's only eyeball test.
You need to write the tests and run them under Windows before you'll start to play with them under Wine, otherwise it's pretty easy to confuse yourself with controversial results.
...and I would build them with... That's assuming I'd be willing to install the whole toolchain under Windows (and that's assuming it would be an option for me in the first place).
With 6ab04040e52465e77558a067309e8a54bdc0f32c regression being clear, somebody does need to test it with Windows, but, as I said, I'm unsure if C++ won't be needed to show it.
