Thank you! It is probably better to simply remap the codepoints to iota rather than duplicating the glyphs. Rewired: |

The current iota1 kinda has an inconsistent thickness/style to it (example at weight 400):
A lot of other fonts that support this character just use the same glyph for it as for the Greek iota, and that seems to work for Inter too:
That's what this PR is for. I tried making the change without a font-editor by just copying the glyph data over manually, and it seems like it worked (
make -j allandmake -j testdon't error), but if the edits are poorly formed then let me know & I'll try again with a proper tool.(BTW, this problem isn't nearly as pronounced for the capital Iota1, so I felt like it was fine remaining as is!)
