[Freetype] Palatino - no problem with diagonal stem in "z" (Italic)

[Vadim Plessky]

I attach screenshot of Palatino TrueType font, rendered with AA (at sizes 
11pt - 7pt).
As you can see from this screenshot, there is no problem with rendering 
diagonal stem in "z" (Italic), like in Times New Roman.
This confirms David Turner's statement, that Times New Roman font has some 
hinting problems, in particular, for Latin "z" (in Italic).

P.S. my platform is Linux, XFree86 4.1.0-4mdk, FreeType 2.0.3
