Actually don't think it is a kerning/hinting issue.

At 5.3 with Khaled's harfbuzz work we picked up OpenType smart font features on
the Graphite framework.

So, for this rather horribly formatted source/sample document, moving the
direct formatting into a paragraph style for the "Prices valid until..." (i.e.
a new style Prices_italic against Text Body -> Prices) with Palatino Linotype
italic font. Activating the Character feature "Historical ligatures", with
":hlig" tag, is sufficient to bring the text run onto a single line --
recovering spacing by ligature of the 'st' of 31st, and 'ff' of coffee.
