Certainly not -- usually, glyph outlines follow geometrical principles
to avoud overlapping outlines.

Something like that:

               ----------------------------
               |                          |
               |                      ----+-------
               |                      |   |      |
               |----------------------+---|      |
                                      |          |
                                      ------------
