Comment #7 on issue 2148 by address@hidden: object outlines shouldn't be rectangular
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2148The good news is that the code is not too big and complicated in LilyPond - it's well segmented, and most of what'd need to be changed is the Skyline class.
My python script is a series of functions that, amongst other things, do coordinate geometry with 2D lines and Bezier curves. It can find distances between and intersections of objects. This'd need to be ported over to the Skyline class, which currently uses boxes to approximate forms.
However, I'm not certain this would have a real impact on LilyPond - using 20ish boxes for a glyph in the Feta font seems like more than enough. These distances would only be useful once (if) LilyPond implements more sophisticated layout managers.
