As I feared, your fix busted my custom control. Please revert the change until a better solution is arrived at.
Please don't assume that the LCL is the entire universe. I'm porting a large custom control that had character positioning problems on Carbon (other widgetsets were fine) until Tomas fixed BeginTextRender. Now it's broken again for me.

All others don't use it. If DX<>nil every character is placed at a custom position. With DX=nil the widgetset should paint the text normal.
