Kerning issue with OpenDyslexic

This is from the opensource product NextCloud, which offers the ability to use the OpenDyslexic font in the user's browser.  I am on the latest release of NextCloud at the time I write this, version 25.0.3.



I am writing about how it displays the word "webfinger".  The kerning appears to have too wide a space for the string "bf" and too narrow a space for the string "fi".

The spaces between words seem just a tad too large to me, but I bet those spaces are a big part of what make this font good at its job, so I am not really worried about that.

Using the "strings" program on the TTF version of the font in my nextcloud directory shows the version as 0.920 ... which is larger than the version for download on the project website.

On the OpenDyslexic website home page, the word "definitely" is shown, and that kerning also looks like it could use a little bit of adjustment on the lowercase f character, but it is slightly better than what I see in Nextcloud.
