Now actually looking at the context:  Given that CmpKernData in 
vcl/source/gdi/outdev3.cxx is (only) used as an argument to std::sort, 
I'm pretty sure it must read (a.nChar1 == b.nChar1) to make that a true 
strict weak ordering, as required by std::sort.  Pushed as 
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=8b7978c822b11c53b4bd40bb0829e3ec205f1359>.
