Binary package hint: libreoffice

Kerning doesn't work, even if activated from the character panel. (capture-1 file)
The font used is Minion-Pro, kerning pairs "AV"," VA" or "Ty" are inserted in the kerning feature included in the
GPOS table only. But the problem is the same for Myriad, AGaramond, etc and any OTF (or TTF) fonts using kerning feature from GPOS table. It's possible to compare this by using scribus where kerning works (capture-2)
The same trouble appeared for ADF's fonts in LibreOffice and Ooo. The solution found was to add a standard kerning table in addition of the kerning feature of the GPOS table.
