If I'm understanding you correctly at all, then one thing you /could/
do, is use charpath to get the outline of a capital I, flattenpath to
turn that to line segments, sort the segments by height, and for the
segments that intersect the vertical midpoint, find the leftmost and
rightmost points. Hopefully there's a better solution coming from
somebody else though.
