What we really need is a tool to correct keming. Probably by going back in time and executing whoever made the boneheaded decision to over-kern some bit of text or have bad kerning hints in a font, before they do it. Hint: "r" and "n" should never be kerned such that there is no visible gap between them.

Sure, but then you lose some pun-like word games. Like "keming" :) . I think it'd be hard to find another word that so concisely conveys the same meaning.
