Why do you want to prevent "line-starting punctuation"? I live in a place where Traditon Chinese is native and it seems that we don't care about the issue. I don't remember there is such rule to avoid "line-starting punctuation".
I can't say if there is no such rule for sure, but in reality, we don't care about it.
As to glyph width, to be honest, I don't quite understand your question. Ideally, each glyph, including punctuation, should be the same width, but modern font rendering tech on computer can make some minor space shifting if proper font is provided.
