Package: libfreetype6
Version: 2.1.10-3
Severity: normal
Recently, though I cannot say exactly when, at least a few days, at most
a few weeks, kerning with some fonts is too strong. I have prepared a
screenshot using Calibri. This is from a GTK menu, so I assume it really
is a freetype issue. Note that a ‘T’ and a following letter are very
close, but still acceptable, while the capital letters are too close or
even touch.
Other fonts exhibiting this behaviour are Minion Pro and Myriad Pro, but
neither Cambria nor Chaparral Pro, so it is neither a ‘Pro’ problem nor
a problem with OpenType fonts in general (all of the above-mentioned are
OpenType, some of PostScript flavour, some of TrueType flavour).

Hello,
With a bit of effort of gotten ahold of a copy of the Calibri font, and
tested with the current freetype in unstable. I don't see any of the
kerning problems described in this bug report, so I'm marking this bug as
closed. If you are still seeing this problem with freetype 2.3.9, please
reopen and provide a more precise test case.
Thanks,
