https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/issues/2048#issuecomment-675408024 demonstrates a new gvar table is needed

justvanrossum commented 4 years ago

The title is misleading, as the limitation is not determined by the number of axes alone, but by (something like) num_axes × num_glyph_masters.

justvanrossum commented 4 years ago

You can have way more than 50 axes if you have way less than 1600 masters...

When we design gvar++ we should address a few other problems with that table as well. There's little sharing allow in that table right now.
