Exporting Fonts with Multiple Versions of the Same Weight

1

Hi, I have a question about exporting special fonts.

I am working on a font that has two versions of the same weight: one normal and one with decorations. When I create a new master for the decorated version, I get an error that the masters are the same weight. How do I export such a font?

Thanks!

Add a new axis, call it Decoration or similar, and set the Axis Location of one of the masters to 0 and of the other to 1. The name and location values don’t really matter, it’s just important that no two masters share the same Axis Locations for all axes.
