Is the letter “g” missing from all en_US checkpoints?
Does “kristin” have a “g,” but the others don't?

Those are phonemes, not letters. And it's there, they're just not in alphabetical order.

But, not have "g"
Thank you.

It uses U+0261 (ɡ) , which, as far as I understand, isn't on the default EN keyboard.
During training, this checkpoint cannot be used if the dataset contains the standard U+0067 (g) .
These are IPA phonemes, so the dataset needs to map any non-IPA characters to the corresponding phoneme. espeak-ng will output the right thing, so it's usually not a concern.
If you're doing custom phonemes, you will need to create your own id mapping anyway.
