No, i mean something else.  Take a look at the attachment - this is
how this glyph's bounding box should look like in my opinion.
You may want to take a look at bounding boxes "Arrowed Natural (arrow
up)", "flat (slashed)",  "Thumb" (i can see the bounding boxes when i
convert the gf file to dvi and view it using xdvi.  (i can send you a
script doing this, if you want)).

I suppose that the command that would change BreathingSign's stencil
to this glyph would also change its padding.

See above, i hope my explanation and example is clear.
