updated for version 7.4.393

Problem:    Text drawing on newer MS-Windows systems is suboptimal.  Some
            multi-byte characters are not displayed, even though the same font
            in Notepad can display them. (Srinath Avadhanula)
Solution:   Add the 'renderoptions' option to enable Direct-X drawing. (Taro
            Muraoka)
