OK, I think I've figured it out. I had misunderstood what you meant by
"language packs" - it's not the multilingual version of the OS, but
rather "files for complex script and right-to-left languages" found in
Regional and Language Options.
Ahh, is that what I was talking about? :) I got the term from the lpk.dll
version resource.
In the machines where it works, I have
these files installed, including LPK.DLL. In the machines where it
doesn't work, the files are not installed.
What's more, by installing these files on an XP machine I got
on-the-fly alignment to work. So we could add this as a (somewhat
unsatisfactory) third option for changing alignment on the fly in
applications.
Personally I wouldn't try to leverage/exploit it.
Is there a way to get an application to use LPK.DLL without installing
language packs?
My guess is that the system sets some sort of flag based on some sort of
test that the edit control then uses to determine if it should use lpk.dll.
I don't think any of it is documented and I don't think any of it is
exposed, but then again -- I know nothing about this. :(
