SUMMARY
***
Font kerning is incorrect for certain fonts in KDE apps only. GTK apps have
correct kerning.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open systemsettings > Fonts
2. Set general font to Ubuntu, Calibri, or Source Sans 3, size 8
3. Apply and then look at kerning in KDE apps
OBSERVED RESULT

Sans 3. Some other fonts I tested render correctly such as Liberation Sans,
DejaVu Sans, Noto Sans, Roboto.
