------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Feb 1 19:13:55 -0800 2006 ------- 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.
