Any fonts like Iosevka that let you customize every character?

I have the typeface, but didn’t know that was an option at all

there are many fonts that I mostly like, but then there’s just one or a couple letters like g or l vs I that don’t align with my preference and ruins it to use as a daily driver.

Wow, how does that work? Does the font selector program generate a custom font file which gets deployed on each system? How does this work with printers?

Here’s the page shown in the image: https://typeof.net/Iosevka/customizer.

The visual editor generates a toml file below that you copy into a plan file. You clone the Iosevka repo, place the plan file there, and compile it. Full instructions are here: https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/blob/main/doc/custom-build.md. It takes 30-40 mins to compile Iosevka TTFs on my M1 Pro MBP though.
