Diacritic placement in "ę" #71

Hi, in the letter "ę" it seems that "ogonek" is placed too much to the left. Ideally (you can look up some well known fonts) "ogonek" should be attached to the same place where stroke of "e" ends. Thanks!

The placement as visible right now on Google Fonts is not ideal.

The ogonek may be attached near the terminal, but its shape should be modified to vertically align with the ogonek in ą and it should not exceed the boundary of the base glyph on the right.
