Aha, but they’re just wrong (I picked number 1).
The person who made Times New Roman’s “g” like that was wrong, and it’s unfortunate we let this error continue for so long but it is incorrect nonetheless. Lowercase “g” is always open-tail canonically, and just because you draw it a different way and slip it under everyone’s noses for a while doesn’t mean you’ve changed this fact. Anyone who takes a closer look at this strange loop “g” they made can clearly see its incorrect, as evidenced by the fact that most “got it wrong” - they didn’t get it wrong at all.
No one person just decides by fiat what a new acceptable version of “g” can be - that’s simply madness. All other “g”’s are styles, but have no right pretending to be canonized in their own right.
