In what sense is it broken in the font? It’s that version (5.3.0). To quote Jonathan Kew [1]: The problem arises because the first subtable includes the V (and T) glyphs in its coverage (as first glyph of the pair), but then the a.sc and hyphen.sc glyphs are not included in the ClassDef2 table, so they map to class 0, for which the kerning is zero. [...] The description of ClassDefFormat2 says that Any glyph not covered by a ClassRangeRecord is assumed to belong to Class 0. If that is the case, then I think this is a font bug: any first-glyph mentioned in a PairPosFormat2 subtable's coverage when ClassDef2 uses format 2 will, in effect, shadow all subsequent subtables, so the same first-glyph cannot be used again. And the follow up [2]: FWIW, testing LinLibertine in IE10 on Win8, I see the same behavior as in Firefox (using harfbuzz): the V, a.sc and T, hyphen.sc pairs are NOT kerned. So I believe this supports the interpretation that this is a font bug, and we should -not- special-case Class0 as per the experimental harfbuzz patch. (In principle, a font could have real kerning values specified for classN, class0, although it's most likely that class0 will always be used for the default do-nothing case.)
