Apache OpenOffice 4.1.7 handles this pair kerning better (but with artificial
limit of 7 which is also too small), so code changed in LibreOffice!

Apache OpenOffice 4.1.7 (the latest version) handles pair kerning better, based
upon its older code, but likewise has an artificial limit equivalent to "-7",
which also is insufficient.  (We need to be able to go to at least -16 with
some fonts.)  All this is to say, it is highly unlikely that allowing -7 now in
LibreOffice 7.x would present any sort of issue, and really, a limit of -16
should be allowed and workable, with only a very minor change to an XML value
in a file.  I am not set up to make that change, and it would take me a lot of
time to get set up, but one of you folks who regularly work on bugs / issues in
LibreOffice should be able to make it very quickly, and I would be only too
happy to thoroughly test the change / fix and report back.
