See below.

The answer I gave then is still valid:

  What you really want to apply at the end of the word is an `italic
  correction' (as used eg. in TeX or groff) so that the next
  non-slanted word doesn't collide with the slanted text.  An
  automatic value might be computed based on the last glyph's height
  and the slant angle.

Here an example:

[Note that groff's font metric files actually can contain left italic
 correction values as discussed in the link.]
