DrawTextW on 2000 and XP will not render to a DIBSection if the string is not WCHAR aligned in memory. But it does work in Vista.
TextOutW will not render to a DIBSection when the string is non WCHAR aligned on any of 2000, XP or Vista.
Both DrawTextW and TextOutW work find when drawing to either a screen DC or a printer DC on all three Windows flavours.
