Great idea, that produces a nice result:

\XeTeXinterchartokenstate = 1
\XeTeXcharclass `( 100
\XeTeXcharclass `f 101
\XeTeXinterchartoks 100 101 = {\kern-0.4pt}

(Evince display attached.) And when you copy/paste it out of the PDF
reader there's no extra space, so it seems that was originating from the
fact that there was a "large enough" gap between the glyphs in the PDF.
Now I just need to figure out how to make it turn on/off for italic, but
that's simple TeX wizardry.

Thanks!
