I'm not really keen to modify kerning of the base glyphs, as this could too
easily corrupt existing documents. We've always had this "policy" to not change
the base glyphs.

Sure, the kerning is quite a lot, but it looks like you're not using proper
font hinting either but the freetype autohinter (although it's hard to tell, it
could be the font hinting but then the subpixel hinting could cause this),
which at those small font sizes apparently applies more kerning than the amount
that's actually in the font.

btw, to make patches, you have to do "make pre-patch" first to get all the
garbage out of the diffs.
Check http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/index.php?title=Developer's_Corner for
details.
