patch 8.0.1390: DirectX scrolling can be slow, vertical positioning is offv8.0.1390

Problem:    DirectX scrolling can be slow, vertical positioning is off.
Solution:   Make scroll slightly faster when using "scrlines:1". Fix y
            position of displayed text. Fix DirectX with non-utf8 encoding.

+14. Building with DirectX (DirectWrite) support
+===============================================
+
+Vim with DirectX (DirectWrite) support can be built with either MSVC or MinGW.
+This requires dwrite_2.h and some other header files which come with Windows
+SDK 8.1 or later (or MinGW-w64), if you want to enable color emoji support.
+This also requires MBYTE=yes which is enabled by default.
+
+A) Using MSVC
+
+If you use MSVC 2013 or later, Windows SDK 8.1 or later is used by default.
+You just need to specify DIRECTX=yes:
+
+    nmake -f Make_mvc.mak DIRECTX=yes
+
+If you use MSVC 2012 or earlier, the required header files are not available
+by default.  However, you can use the header files from newer SDKs with older
+compilers.  E.g.:
+
+    set "INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\um"
+    nmake -f Make_mvc.mak DIRECTX=yes
+
+If you don't need color emoji support, only dwrite.h is required.  You can use
+older compilers (e.g. VC2010) without Windows SDK 8.1.  E.g.:
+
+    nmake -f Make_mvc.mak DIRECTX=yes COLOR_EMOJI=no
+
+B) Using MinGW-w64
+
+Just set DIRECTX to yes:
+
+    mingw32-make -f Make_ming.mak DIRECTX=yes

 The MS-DOS support was removed in patch 7.4.1399.  Only very old Vim versions
 work on MS-DOS because of the limited amount of memory available.
