Hi Dave,
I haven't had the time yet to dig into your extensive set of complicated macros
:O  You have accomplished a great deal in this Herculean task!

Do you think you could use trace() to find the exact points that you need?

Perhaps "scan" down the side of a letter with a loop and overwrite a vector
variable with a new value any time the trace() dimension is smaller / larger
than the last value stored.

Then you could sort of roll your own bounding box(es).

Maybe couple subdividing the letters with this strategy to get bounding boxes of
specific sections of the letters.
