Font Kerning

Is there a way to adjust the font kerning in Layout?
I could not find it.If this feature is not included in LO, I'll write on the top of my wishlist for the next release

Mac or PC? Mac = Text->Kern etc... PC =
It's been on the PC feature request list for a while.

Since it seems that the windows version of LO doesn't support font kerning, the best way I've found to manage this is to write the text with an image editor and export it as png image with transparent background.
Photoshop has a quite good text management and supports well text kerning. If you have to put some text labels in your LO file (i.e. 'elevation north' or 'level 04'), it's good to set up a new Photoshop file with a grid and write down the text for your labels. Don't forget size and scale: i wrote my text @ 300 dpi. Then with the slice tool cut all the labels and export them all at once with the 'save for internet' option in the menu 'file'. Save them as plain png images, since the html code is useless in this case.
Now you're ready to import the labels in LO and position them. Your text will look more elegant now!
I guess that you can do the some with The Gimp and most of the image editors available.
