Since DirectWrite mode is the default now, I think this is the best
solution.

Don't understand: why do you want to set Direct2D by default to FALSE?
And what change is required for UDiffFontName?

But before we go any further here:

I think the real question is: why is the localized font name not
recognized by CreateFontIndirectA ? I mean, the font name is converted
from utf16 to ansi (local code page). And the local code page should be
able to correctly handle that font name?
