Perhaps. Certainly we had trouble with the .svgs that we (Nils) directly
extracted from the font. They have values for width and height and these
were large, and this seemed to affect performance. There was also a
fuzziness bug.

Yes, I am confident that Nils' scripts will continue to work if you
change d-ToggleAccent to be a script instead of a built-in.

Nils' scripts are not the primitive accent placing command, but some
additional provision (not sure of the details, applying a command to the
selection may be one - he also has stuff to "lock-in" commands, making
Denemo modal) - you don't need to look at that stuff.
