Created attachment 130412 [details] examples of incorrect (phantom) spacing See the attached spreadsheet which shows that characters c and w have additional empty space following, e.g. making "weg" appear as "w eg" when using 8 point formatting. Similarly, c has empty space following for both 8 and 10 point sizes.
It seems this might be fixed with the new font layout engine of 5.3. Could you please test 5.3: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/ Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED FIXED, if the problem went away.
5.3.0.3 64 bit fixes the letter "w" but the letter "c" is still a problem, see screenshot...
Created attachment 131443 [details] letter "c" still a problem
Created attachment 131444 [details] Screenshot from 5.3, Windows I don't see the kerning problem. I have ClearType enabled in Windows.
This could be another duplicate of the bug 88991 (the root cause being the bug 103322).

in v 6.2.2.2 it's now working properly for all the fonts that I've checked so someone inadvertently fixed it without updating this ticket/report. So I'd say it "Resolved" "Fixed" is the correct status.

Thanks for retesting with the latest version. Setting to RESOLVED WORKSFORME as the commit fixing this issue hasn't been identified.
