Relying on the outline alone is definitely *not* correct, at least for feta  
glyphs: Some objects need more whitespace around certain features due to  
aesthetical reasons.

I have suggested to add some METAFONT code to construct skylines for all  
glyphs some years ago; you might look into the following thread:

Adding `hsky' and `vsky' SFNT tables (or any equivalent) to the feta font  
is still the right thing to do IMHO.
