Not worth the effort. AFAIK, fixing the current issue would require
modifying either the polygon-filling code or the horizontal case of
the line-drawing code, so that the two match. Even then, there's a
limit to what you can do when code typically tries to draw lines
exactly along the boundary between pixels and you're using integer
coordinates.

There's a limit to what can be achieved on Windows. We should be able
to handle characters which are in the current codepage, but supporting
filenames which contain characters outside of the current codepage is
probably out of the question (we would need to wrap every open(),
fopen(), rename(), remove() etc).
