fil is right. Using Palatino for this example is kind of funny, because it was created so that the tops of the f's are very short, to avoid collisions (in the Linotype hot metal typesetting it was designed for). So it really doesn't matter so much for Palatino. But in many typefaces this is an important/useful feature.
