Pair Kerning appears to be broken for TrueType fonts. To see this, enter text
such as "To AVA." Highlight the text. Select Format -> Character... and select
Pair Kerning from the Position tab.  If the font is changed to a Type 1 font
such as Nimbus Roman or Bitstream Charter, the "o" will be neatly scooted unter
the T, and the A's and V's should close in on each other. If, however, a
TrueType font is selected, such as Times New Roman or one of the other MS core
web fonts, there is no kerning.

I've seen this behavior in the OpenOffice 2 package in Debian sid, as well as in
a fresh install of the rpm's from the OpenOffice web site on a Suse 10.0
installation (I removed the default Suse packages first). The issue doesn't seem
to appear in Windows XP.

This issue is a serious one to me because I enable pair kerning in all my
documents, and I wouldn't want to live without half the typefaces I use every 
day.

Thanks for your time, and thanks for creating a great piece of software.

Scott Thatcher
