Kerning can be much more complicated than can be represented by a simple pairing table. See Apple’s documentation for the Kerx table, specifically Format 1, which encodes a state machine: https://developer.apple.com/fonts/TrueType-Reference-Manual/RM06/Chap6kerx.html
So the question, as usual, becomes: what are you actually trying to do? I bet you could get it done via the NSTypesetter API.
