The route for hardware accelerating Windows builds would be through native
DirectX and DirectWrite _not GDI+_ or legacy Uniscribe. 

The truth is, legacy GDI+ and GDI native implementation is becoming more
unmaintainable as Microsoft moves the platform away from it.

But cross-platform we've moved to HarfBuzz, and are looking at Freetype, with
some skia support, as replacements for DirectWrite rendering on Windows. 

Similar choices in non-native implementations for macOS Quartz have been made.

Its all pretty messy--but resources of the project prevent doing "native"
development for the supported platforms.

What can be done for the project is OpenGL implementation based.
