2 years ago STAT table in config file looks ok, the info related to Italic axis is added automatically by the builder and the values on the compiled font looks ok to me.
AFAIK postscript names for vf instances was not a requirement. Anyway Ubuntu has ID 25 (and others) with "Roman" and "Italic" on the name string, added by the builder.
In my experience style linking on InDesign is pretty buggy, for instnace changing to bold and changing back to regular only works if the font has Regular as its variable font origin, which is the case in this font.
I was expecting that linking in italics would work, but it doesn't work either. In the past I found this only works when:
- STAT is properly set (Seems ok on Ubuntu)
- fsSelection is set to italic on the italic file (It’s properly set on Ubuntu)
So it might be something else here. I will keep triyng to find where the problem is.
Note: Style linking works properly on Figma

According to GF guide, Builder should automatically include Name ID 25 for InDesign:
This seems to be true in UbuntuMono, but not in Ubuntu, causing style linking to break in InDesign.
Of course I can add it after the fact but I’d rather keep the build process as clean as possible. I went in and added as much as I could to the stat description in the config. @guidoferreyra do you know what I’m missing?
