The following glyph-specific options are also recognized:

Option      Description                      Default
------      -----------                      -------

-point      Do not increase wideness of glyph   0 (false)
            even if size of feature is >1

-fallback_to_rectangle                          0 (false)
            If the feature's length is > 1,
            then draw the feature as a
            rectangle, not a diamond.

BUGS

If the feature is wider than a point, then the label and description are placed where the feature's boundary is, and not where the diamond is drawn.
