With the newest binaries from today (Development id: 7671) I no
longer get an italic kern after a f in math with legacy fonts:
\tracingoutput1
\showboxbreadth\maxdimen
\showboxdepth\maxdimen
$f(x)$
\bye
...\hbox(0.0+0.0)x20.0, direction TLT
...\mathon
...\teni f
...\tenrm (
...\teni x
...\tenrm )
...\mathoff
with pdftex or luatex from texlive 2024
...\teni f
...\kern1.0764 (italic)
...\tenrm (
...\teni x
...\tenrm )
With open type fonts / unicode-math there is no problem.
