My own vectors wouldn’t solve the issue, because the variable would be:

   lfbd(Ὧ) = glyph.width(Ω) - glyph.width(Ὧ)

I need to place glyphs accurately, not characters. Character dimensions
wouldn’t help to get hanging diacritics.

The variable is so simple that the glyph with diacritical marks should
be placed in the beginning of the line as it had no such marks.

If the font has all glyphs for uppercase letters with the same width for
the letter strokes, a general approach (such as the menttioned above, I
guess it) would work.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
