Trying again as the attachments in my previous reply exceeded the size

If one ttf is worth a thousand words, what are three PNG's worth? :-) I
think these will clarify *what* I am seeing, but doesn't completely answer
*why* I see it or *what to do* about it.
Here is how Miwarre's FreeSerif and FreeSans look in MuseScore on my Ubuntu
14.04 system with Qt 5.4:
If that's not "no kerning at all", it's pretty close. I see no obvious
kerning in "Te", "rj", or "VA" in either font.
Whereas here is how it looks with my versions:
All three pairs kern very noticeably in both FreeSerif and FreeSans in my
versions. And this is what has set my expectations for how the kerning
could potentially look.
Now, as I trace my steps, I am somewhat mystified by what I am seeing here
in my version. I would have sworn I had downloaded the most recent SFD
files from ftp.gnu.org. But as I look into this, it seems I actually got a
much older version. And in fact we already *are* using the most recent
versions in our own Git repository. So Miwarre's are actually built from
the latest sources; mine apparently are not.
At this point, I will continue in another message to get around the size
limit.
