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.
