FIXME what? Is there some unimplemented functionality, or is it just illegal 
to call ExtTextOut on an open path?

It's completely legal to do:

BeginPath(hDC);
ExtTextOut(hDC, ...);
EndPath(hDC);
StrokePath(hDC);

to get an outlined text output.

Yup, this is what Word 2000 uses to get the 'Outline' effect you can
select in Format->Font.  Wine doesn't implement it yet hence the
FIXME.  It would essentially mean writing another ExtTextOut clone
that gets the outlines of the glyphs and adds them to the path, as
well as doing all the other stuff that ExtTextOut does.

Huw.

But I think that patch is too harsh, since it doesn't allow normal
ExtTextOut functionality to at least provide minimal replacement for
the not implemented case: just print FIXME and proceed with normal
ExtTextOut implementation.
