freetype 2.1.10 has a bug in determining whether it's doing horizontal
or vertical hinting, which prevents stem snapping in some cases:

2005-09-26  David Turner  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * src/autofit/aflatin.c (af_latin_compute_stem_width): Fix bad
        computation of the `vertical' flag, causing ugly things in LCD mode
        and others.

But in this case, bypassing stem snapping gives better result.

Maybe we can adjust the algorithm so that font styles are taken into
consideration when snapping?
