Getting a custom VFD made would be a very expensive process indeed.
If you need a very small number of segments then Dalibor Farny can make a custom Nixie tube, which is similar technology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nHkhJ52iA4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nHkhJ52iA4
Also a good introduction to how they are made (making a VFD would be similar but more difficult): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxL4ElboiuA&t=32s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxL4ElboiuA&t=32s
Otherwise Noritake itron still make VFD monitors for industrial applications (seems they have high temp advantages over LCDs): https://www.noritake-itron.com/site2017/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=11&Itemid=341 https://www.noritake-itron.com/site2017/index.php?option=com...
- Nevada-Smith 6y ago> (seems they have high temp advantages over LCDs) According to Wikipedia [1], it's their low temperature advantage: "...unlike LCDs, VFDs are not limited by the response time of rearranging liquid crystals and are thus able to function normally in cold, even sub-zero, temperatures, making them ideal for outdoor devices in cold climates."
