And yet one more thing:If the glyph precludes right positioning I guess one would have no choice but to use left positioning.
The underdot (low glottalised tone), when applied to the lowercase y, should sit just slightly to the right of the descending stroke, far enough under the right side of the letter to make it clear that the dot is below and not to the side of the letter. Clearly, this would be impossible in designs that have a straight right side descending y (e.g. the Bremer Presse roman). I don't know what to suggest for such cases other than to avoid such designs when making typefaces for Vietnamese.
