Bug Description
Hinting bug on lowercase 'w' on Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1.
Rightmost stroke of lowercase 'w' is squeezed into a near-vertical line, making the letter disproportionate. See attachment for example.
Text displayed rendered with Mozilla Firefox 5.0 (DirectWrite + ClearType). Only happens at a specific size, but across browsers and applications.

This has been puzzling me; the debug is reporting 39 PPEM, but it looks more like ~16 PPEM. If it was giving the sub-pixels it would be 13 PPEM.
Interesting to know what the DejaVu PPEM debug reports in the same circumstances.
