[Minor, Not a Degradation] Incorrect Kerning for Small Fonts and the Letter W

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
View text that includes small fonts and the "w" letter (YouTube on Chrome, 
default settings for example).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Kerning is incorrect, the "w" letter looks like it has a space following it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2012_0406 on Windows 7 x64.

Please provide any additional information below.
Please see attached screenshot. Green boxes show correct kerning while red 
boxes show the issue. Especially notice "views" on the green box and "views" on 
the red box.
This issue existed in gdipp as well.

I just started using MacType on Windows 7 x64 and I am seeing the same thing.

I'm seeing the same. Lower case w in especially Arial 8pt / 11px is a disaster, 
but also Verdana at 13px is terrible.

But I'm so in love with how well MacType renders my programming fonts, and even 
Courier New (looks just like it's printed on paper!) that the "keming" issues 
that I'm seeing are not enough of a reason to uninstall MacType. I sure wish 
there was a way to fix it though.

Italic fixes the issue.
