** I not spoke about spacing ajustement or effects between glyphs, you can do,
but basic kerning inserted in font. Use false condensed (or expanted) staying a
text style effect, having nothing to do with kerning. I will not write
a text like
in your screenshot using nimbus :-)
You haven't to do this with nimbus, because nimbus use a standard
kerning table.
Opentype technology now used (for OTF and TTF) stores all features in GSUB and
GPOS table. For the same reasons, it's not possible at this time to
accede to features
like ligatures, alternate, sub etc. excepted by using insert character
fonctions.
The problem is that Libreoffice like Ooo seems not read the GPOS table
kerning information
when standard kerning table doesn't exist specially with fonts
respecting opentype
specifications, I think.


Best to you
