See http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=102911 « Every windows application that relies on the GDI call GetKerningPairs() will fail with these problematic fonts. On the other hand the font's kern table is valid and OOo is right that it trusts GDI to provide the kerning pairs. There are four ways to fix it: 1. fix Windows so that GetKerningPairs() ignores pairs it cannot handle 2. remove the problematic kernings from the DejaVu Serif fonts 3. make sure that every glyph mentioned in the kern table has a (proper or dummy) unicode inside the baseplane 4. make OOo and all other Windows applications avoid GDI calls and parse all font tables themselves »
Should be fixed for Serif in r2400. For Sans the offending entries probably have to be moved into PUA.
Now also fixed for Sans in r2402.
