[Freetype] Re: Arial ttf - bad rendering of some glyphs

I don't think it is doing this exactly so on my machine. Here is a picture
of Windows' Wordpad on my Windows 2000 machine with the letter 'z'
drawn in Times Roman normal, bold, italic, and bold-italic at successive
integral point sizes from 5-26.

The 5 and 6 point sizes are being anti-aliased, 7-13 are not, and 14+ are.
When antialiasing is turned off, none of the letters are anti-aliased.

 

Also, I don't see any missing diagonal in these Zs, but maybe I don't

have it set up properly to show this error.
