Brother, that works beautifully! Isn't kerning technically the distance between letters, though?
Yes and no. In TeX speak, a \kern is a "movement of the cursor" which generally doesn't allow a break before or after it (there are a few exceptions). An \hskip, on the other hand, is more akin to "insert white space" and does allow breaks around it. Thus a \kern is exactly what gets done between letters within a word in order to "pack" them correctly, as we don't want line breaks within a word (indeed, this is where TeX gets the term, which comes from older typesetting techniques). However, it's more versatile than that in TeX and thus useful in situations like this one.
