Any progress?

Try to find an engraving of Bach's 5th French Suite (in G major, BWV
816); the Gigue uses a 12/16 time signature.

Another example, also using a 12/16 signature, is the 11th variation
in the Goldberg variations, BVW 988.

I was thinking of changing side bearings only.

I looked into *.mf files of Feta and noticed that there is some kerning data 
applied to number glyphs. So I would:
1) remove kerning
2) set the same glyph width for all numbers.

And I wonder how time signatures like 12/16 are aligned in Baerenreiter, Peters 
scores. I own none of these editions and it can be hard to answer that as time 
signatures like 12/16 are fairly rare.

Basically, I don't object.  Slightly stretching or squeezing the
glyphs horizontally shouldn't be noticeable, I think.

However, have you checked (old) scores from Bärenreiter, Peters, UE,
etc., whether those numerals really have the same width?  I guess that
manually engraved digits have a natural deviation in positioning much
larger than what you demonstrate (using an extreme magnification).
