New issue 826 by v.villenave: Wrong bounding box for \longa glyph
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=826

As demonstrated by the attached skyline, the longa's stem is currently not
taken into account.

"
The root problem lies in various bounding-box calculations in the Metafont
code (search for `set_char_box').

The Parmesan font glyphs (the \longa glyph is one example) often use
symmetrical lengths for their Y-extent -- for example, #(-0.5 . 0.5).

This sometimes seems appropriate, but it often seems inaccurate.
