Sorry, they are not.

The quickest way to check if the table is there is by just doing
   hexdump -C LiberationSans-Regular.ttf 
which will result in something like

The table-name-tags are easily visible in the hexdump. Please note that the
"kern" tag is missing in this example as the traditional kern table is missing
in the font file.

Try TTX (from http://sourceforge.net/projects/fonttools/) if you don't like the
hexdump-method.

Another method to check if the font is directly usable on Windows is to use the
GetKerningPairs() API for this font and check the result.
