Re: Tahoma: anti-aliasing free: bad hinted "a" or "z"

I can confirm both the problem with letter 'z' at 15ppem, and the
issue with letter 'a' at 16ppem.

Right now, you can't.  Please file a bug report at

  https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=freetype

so that the rendering difference is not forgotten.  Note that it isn't
always possible to get exactly the same rendering as with Windows: The
TrueType specification is often too vague, and we have to find out the
the hard way using trial and error how Windows is doing things.
