Well the title says it all already. I've build my own customized font with the parameters above and the bold version of the small 'm' with short middle stem is thinner than the other glyphs. This only happens after #471 - there you can also find a screenshot of the problem as described here.

Why is this bug only being addressed after 3.0?

Currently, Iosevka if feature-locked so there's no plan for this right now.
(condensed is not a stablized feature so sorry about that.)

Can this be fixed now?

Be patient. This one's priority is low and the fix may be simply reduce the stroke width if you are going even narrower (and this is what most fonts do).

It should have been fixed in previous commits. Closed.

Thank you!
I can confirm that the difference with the other bold letters is very little now - you really have to zoom in to notice a slight difference in width ...
