Looking into a bug I discovered that the FGetStringTypeW function returns
different values on the two OS. In particular some characters are listed as
ALPHA on one system but not the other. The most significant is 'ー', part of
the string 'ニューヨーク' which is New York.
On XP the return value is 0x200, on 2000 0x110.
Is there a way to make the function return the same values regardless of the
OS?

I assume you mean GetStringTypeW here? There is no FGetStringTypeW in
Windows.
Windows.
To answer the [modified] question -- not really, no. The underlying data
store is what it is.
