Modify base /g and/or base /j (most likely the latter).

As a resident of Sweden, I would prefer that STIX Two implement (at least one option from) options 2--4 or option
Provide an alternative /j (e.g., via a stylistic-alternate set or a character variant).
(Using LaTeX with the fontspec and babel packages, I found no difference when I specified Swedish. Similarly, in Microsoft Word and Libre Office Writer, specifying Swedish left the gj-collision invariant.)
In the Typedrawer thread, John Hudson (@tiroj) observed that the /g_j-collision impacts several languages:
Hello!
In STIX Two Text, \j overlaps \g in \gj.
In 2020, a Typedrawer thread raised awareness of /g_j-collisions. There, the original poster suggested four responses to /g_j-collisions:

Others noted that /g_j-collisions also afflict
The /g_j collision was highlighted by by Robert Bringhurst's font-testing paragraph (in The Elements of Typographical Style), which names the valkyrie Skeggjöld (from the Eddas).
Thank you for your help.
