It's very probably due to a difference in the way the
FreeType and Windows rasterizers do manage what are called
"pixel drop-outs".

Unfortunately, fixing this is likely to be very hard, and
I'm not going to spend my time on this. Besides, the difference
is really minor, I don't think you should feel too concerned
about it.
