Fred, Thanks, but I am not talking about the on-screen appearance. I did not know about this ini file setting, however, what I am referring to is the actual PDF and hardcopy appearance.
And it only concerns the space character. Like I add 30 units of kerning between the f and the space (inside the font with FontLab) and this added kerning does not show up even if I turn on the kerning pairs in FrameMaker. However, this kerning does show up in InDesign or Microsoft Word.

In hard copy? In PDF? If the kerning is OK in print and/or PDF, you need to look at the DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics item in your maker.ini file to see whether it's equated to Off or On.
