I'd be interesting in being able to get metrics of added text
and in my case, i dont need such a precision as to know
what edge or boundary in the glyph it is.
It could be the center of the glyph or the baseline left position for example.
Once the setting known, it'd be possible to automate some smarter layout.

I'd be interested in knowing more about this way of doing.
What are the function names ? Are there examples ?
What is the nature of the "point" you mention : a specific glyph ?
