No dice. Neither of those fonts kern correctly for me on any of my three
systems. Again, both Linux systems are running Qt 5.4; there, neither font
kerns at all. My Windows machine has Qt 5.3. On that machine, your
FreeSerif will kern the "rj" but not the "Te" or the "VA". Your FreeSans
will kern the "VA" but not either of the other pairs. I assume the
difference has to do with different types of tables, but you know more
about that than I.
Again, only by *unchecking* the OpenType box can I get these fonts to kern
correctly on my Linux machine running Qt 5.4 or my Windows machine running
5.3. And I found the same for Linux with 5.3 back in August; that's why I
went to two different MuseJazz fonts back then. But I have no idea why
MuseJazz will kern for me on Qt 5.4 even with OpenType checked but the
other fonts won't.
BTW, I checked other "system" fonts. On my Windows / Qt 5.3 machine, Arial
and Times New Roman kern just fine, others are more hit and miss, but
overall I'd say kerning "works" in MuseScore on Windows. On my Linux / Qt
5.4 machines, very few fonts kern well. Many work like your FreeSerif does
on Windows - some pairs you expect to see kern do, but others don't.
Others don't kern at all.
It's looking like there is probably a Qt issue with OpenType on Linux and
Windows, but I still don't know how to quantfiy it.
