Well... I had the same "bumping into the ceiling" problem with the g that I'm having with the 8 -- but in this case digging through the floorboards!
A less eccentric fix would be to make a single bowl g, but this font is determinedly whimsical, so I'm reluctant...
Of course I'll give in and do a "proper" g eventually. It does get old after a paragraph or so.
Do you think I can fudge the rules a bit with my 8 glyph? It's occupying a baseline all its own (hah hah!) at the moment but I can't compress it much more before it loses any link to its siblings altogether.
Regarding the g – you could try an open 'tail' like in FF Signa. And regarding the 8 – maybe you can bring it up to the baseline, and extend the 'ascender' of the 6 to match?

Did you try a less exotic g? :-)

There's always one child that acts up...
PS: Thank you for leaving the 9 unfinished.
Wow. That is a Courier. XD
