If something like that microsoft stuf was in the font, it would be quite easy for luatex to make use of it. Interpreting the actual charstrings would go too far, but applying some sort of blocky shape (especially if it only has horizontal and vertical lines) would be quite easy. It sounds like thus needs a lot of work on the font design side, though.

Microsoft calls them "cut-ins" and they are defined in the MATH table. They are intended for sub- and superscript (ie, apparently not for general combinations of characters), and may be specified for each quadrant (each quadrant may have multiple cut-ins). Lines are horizontal and vertical.

I know, and luatex already does that. Best wishes, Taco
