Hi Chris, thanks for the info. I already posted the bug at the Document
Foundation earlier, so I think already took those steps. I'll explain
what happened.

-Feb 2015: I posted the bug on DF.org here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89558
-Feb 2015: My bug was merged by a DF.org user with another one, here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88991
-Apr 2015: I had some new experiences with the bug, a.o. that it did not occur with the proprietary graphics driver. So I decided to post the bug with the developers of the open source driver as well. This is the bug topic you and I are discussing in now.
-Apr - Oct 2015: I kept adding some info to the DF.org bug when I found it. I got no more replies on DF.org. The bug has not been assigned to a developer there.

So I am unsure whether I can do more than that for fixing it upstream.
If you have a suggestion, let me know.

Title:
  LibreOffice has serious kerning issues with characters' display of
  font, bold, italic

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Intermittently with the same or different document in LibreOffice
  Calc, Writer, or Impress text is distorted. The attached file shows an
  example of the bug that I had in Calc, where the bottom right is the
  'normal' text. Three lines, with the bottom one in bold. Depending on
  the zoom level, the text is distorted in appearance (bold, italic,
  and/or font).

  -I don't have a clear way of reproducing it. The apps normally start out perfectly fine. After a while this can happen, not always.
  -It is not always that the 100% zoom level is ok. That can be distorted too.
  -This never ever happens in any other program I use.

  WORKAROUND: Use the AMD proprietary driver (fglrx).
