The closely related EBDT code in Font Validator is available. That said, it is 
probably not very indicative of how MS rendering engine behaves, since it is 
all in C#.
I think Microsoft's C code for EBDT likely came from Apple's bdat(?) code 
another decade before that,  so Apple and MS rendering behavior may be similar.
