1] Compute the arithmetic mean and the 4th order moment of the glyph,
then compute a circle centered at the glyph's mean with radius equal
to the 4th moment. Ad
The only reason I bring up the horizontal stem snapping (outside the
context of a new autohint API) is that it could be implemented without
