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. -- Mark
