Liberation 1.00 to 1.03 contained the traditional kern tables, but 1.04 did
neither contain them nor
their newer GPOS.kern counterparts. Version 1.05 provides kerning details only
via GPOS, but not via
the traditional tables. Since 1.05 onyl uses the "pair adjustment" type of
GPOS.kern there is no good
reason they do not also provide the traditional tables.
Especially when considering the OpenType 1.06 specification, which is quite
clear on that topic: "Fonts
intended for cross-platform use or for the Windows platform in general should
conform to the 'kern'
table format". I support this notion.
@fyva: if you use fontforge to create your fonts please do not forget to enable
the "Traditional Kerning"
checkbox in File->GenerateFonts->Options->SFNT
It would be even better if you used a version of fontforge that has my patch
from issue 102911
applied.
Other than that there is the enhancement issue 31764 for OOo to use GPOS.kern
instead of SFNT.kern.
