buchs, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. The
way LibreOffice Writer displays the screenshot is exactly the way Word
displays it, keeping compatibility expectations with it. Hence, this is
not a bug. Feel free to continue to report any future bugs you may find.

Title:
  LibreOffice Writer does not space characters correctly

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I've thought from the early days of Open Office, that Writer could be
  improved in the rendering of fonts, specifically in the character
  spacing. I have a screen shot of some text that illustrates the
  problem. I have underlined the word "Trust". It can be seen that the
  "r" is too close to the "u" and too far from the "t". It looks fine
  when it prints. Note the zoom is 100% and the font is Times New Roman
  12. I have done nothing to configure kerning or change the character
  spacing. The problem persists even if I zoom in to 600%.

  Note, I was thinking that I was reporting the bug to LibreOffice
  developers when I picked the menu option from Writer to "Report a
  Problem". I see this is going into Ubuntu. I hope that it gets to the
  LO folks.
