This is not a font problem, this is a bug in the font handling engine
you are using, or bad configuration settings for this particular font.
Reason: Fonts of the `tahoma' family contain a `gasp' table which says
that at resolutions <= 8ppem the glyphs should be rendered
anti-aliased, without grid-fitting (this is, without applying hinting
instructions). As can be clearly seen, this is not the case in your
image.
