Kerning of 'n' and 'y' in serif italics. #472

Hello, I feel that there is ever so slightly too much space between an 'n' and a 'y' in the italics font. It is very subtle. To me it subjectively becomes very obvious at certain distances/sizes. Below I have typeset a small sample of fonts comparing the kerning of 'n' and 'y'. As you can see, the tail of the y "overlaps" more with the 'n' in some of the fonts.
