B/W hinting differences of "a" and "z" in Tahoma if compared to Windows

When anti-aliasing is deactivated, then "a" and "z" of the font Tahoma are not hinted like they are in Windows.
ttached are some examples. You can see there, the differences between Windows and Linux. Please note, that all picture samples are zoomed 2x, so that we can better see the differences. Make sure that you view the images 1:1 (100%) and that anti-aliasing is switched off in the image viewer. (For example Menu->Edit->Settings in "Nomacs").
-> In Linux I have either a bad hinted "a" but a good hinted "z" or a good hinted "a" but a very bad hinted "z". In Windows 7, I always have both letters good hinted.
