          Issue ID: 127391
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Kerning no longer works in 4.1.3
           Product: Writer
           Version: 4.1.3
          Hardware: Mac
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 (lowest)
         Component: formatting
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: kalle@goodtimes.fi
  Target Milestone: ---

After upgrading from 4.0.1 to 4.1.3, kerning no longer works on Mac. I'm using
the latest macOS Sierra (10.12.4).

Example: http://i.imgur.com/oxw9rzv.png

All fonts seem to be affected. Interestingly, ligature substitution works OK as
shown.

Could this have to do with the switch to Core Text in 4.1.0? But that was a
long time ago; I find it incredible that no one has reported this yet if all
Mac users have been affected for three years. All text is now noticeably uglier
than it should be.

While the screenshots are of the editor, the issue is not limited to editor
presentation; output is affected as well.

Please let me know if I can help in any way.

How is this a duplicate of 127357? That issue deals with contextual OpenType
substitutions, not kerning. Has it already been determined these bugs have a
common root cause?
