Tildes matrix over font, style and size

In Sans Condensed, Sans Light, Serif Condensed and (to a lesser extent) Serif,
the tilde character '~' is rendered as a straight line, similar to an en or
em-dash, at smaller font sizes (8-9 pt and below).

Sans and Sans Mono are rendered as curvy lines down to 6pt and 7pt
respectively.

See attached screenshot, using version 2.26 (file dates all 26/07/2008).


Expected results:

To see a curvy tilde, which can't be confused for an en/em-dash, at smaller
font sizes.
