My fonts are horribly unkerned in LibreOffice. Example:

Here's a comparison, LibreOffice on top and Inkscape below.

Comparison of Kerning between LibreOffice and Inkscape

As you can see, LibreOffice messes up the kerning. The font is Ubuntu, 10pt in LibreOffice and Ubuntu, 13px in Inkscape.

The kerning problem gets less if I increase the font-size btw.

Is there a switch for activating the kerning in LibreOffice or is this a known problem?

Kerning is activated by using the Format->Character menu, selecting the Position tab and using the Pair kerning checkbox in the Spacing section.
