--- Comment #17 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
So don't use the Tahoma font where deficiencies (gpos, kern tables) and hinting
issues make for bad kerning and unreliable font to use on a GTK3 (pango
harfbuzz) based DE.

You could drop back and try the 'gen' backend, but not clear that would improve
the kerning with your os/DE

At some point implementation of floating point positioning on VCL canvas for
bug 103322 would allow sub-pixel rendering, until then fonts must render
without benefit of horizontal hinting.
