Variable Font italic variant issue in v2.305 #611

Open yvvt0379 opened 1 year ago

yvvt0379 commented 1 year ago

When updated to v2.305, the word "Italic" of italic variants is missing. image

Did you install the variable fonts? What operating system? What application?

yvvt0379 commented 1 year ago
  1. Yes.
  2. Windows 11.
  3. Settings.

same here, is there anything update?

jyxjjj commented 4 months ago

And I think Italic should not be a single variable? Can it be merged into upright with different name?

subframe7536 commented 4 months ago

@jyxjjj It is impossible to make a font "variable" when some glyphs have different number of nodes in different variants

Needs to be fixed in the source and the fonts regenerated. In the font files the Roman and the Italic have different default masters - Roman default is Regular, and Italic default is Thin. And in the source both have Thin set as the default master. In previous versions source they are set to Regular/Italic, not Thin. Looks like the previous version was generated using using the build tools, and this one was exported directly from Glyphs. But this is just a guess. Either way - v2.305 is broken.
