They come from the font, actually they come from the (GPOS) `kern` table of `lmsans10-boldoblique.otf`. > I am just asking because the kernings between b-o and o-w in my > (incorrect) example looks better than the original ones where (imo) > the "o" is moved to the right too much. See the attachments: with and without kern tables. Kerning value of -31 of 'w' after 'o' may make sense (in “owl”), but a value of 31 of 'o' after 'b' doesn’t make sense at all (see “bow”). The same happens (with values of -28 and 28) with `lmsans10-oblique.otf`. After checking `lmsans10-bold.otf` and `lmsans10-regular.otf` (all from `tex/texmf/fonts/data/gust/lm/`): obliques share these kerning values from their upright and bold counterparts. I have checked that there is a 2.006 version (https://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern/download/lm-hist.txt/view). Although we use the 2.004, this issue isn’t fixed in latest version. According to the README (https://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern/download/readme-latin-modern.txt/view), Bogusław Jackowski is the LM maintainer, so I guess an email message to him would be the way to report the issue (at least, I was unable to find any other way to report an issue). Many thanks for hitting (what seems to be) an issue with the LM fonts, Pablo
