Left Kerning of `i` (cv05, cv06) Should be Shorter After `L` and `l`.

When the variant of i is used (cv05, cv06), it is too close to the glypht to the right, and too far to the L and l to the left. So I suppose the left kerning of this variant of i should be shorter.

Unfortunately this is a monospaced font, I can’t do kerning, not really

Actually, I've seen monospaced font that did “kerning”. Can't find it, but I guess they uses something like you use to move colon up/down when it's between digits. Or what you do to fine-tune FlTl, fifj

I guess shorten the left kerning and widen the right kerning will work, so that the width of glyph is unchanged, but the glyph itself looks being moved to the left.

I think OP is looking for something similar to this: class-based positioning.
