Hirwen HARENDAL, I was successful in creating the desired kerning effect in Ubuntu 10.10, LibreOffice via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/773207/+attachment/2096756/+files/test.zip && file-roller -h test.zip && cd test && sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/HourosADF-Medium && sudo cp HourosADF-Medium.otf /usr/share/fonts/HourosADF-Medium && sudo fc-cache -f -v && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/773207/+attachment/2098280/+files/example.odt && lowriter -nologo example.odt

notice the kerning is as the attached Screenshot.png. I was able to produce this kerning by highlighting the text -> secondary click the highlighted text -> primary click Character... -> Position tab -> under Spacing click the drop-down box and choose Condensed -> in the combo box to the right of Condensed choose 5.0pt -> click OK

Does this work for you?
