Exporting variable inline font doesn't work …

Hi :-))

I am working on an inline font (“Lichte Schrift”) for my Bachelor’s degree.

The problem is that I cannot export it as a Variable Font, which was my original goal. The main project file is quite cluttered and the axes do not match yet, so I won’t bother you with that. Instead, I made a clean copy with just one axis: Inline Closed (0) to Inline Open (30). In the Variable Preview, everything works perfectly, and there are no red markings indicating a guaranteed failure.

I have attached a screenshot of the error messages. If I understand them correctly, is it simply not possible to export this kind of font as a Variable Font?

I am quite new to type design, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Additional Issue: When I export the font, all “a” glyphs are swapped with an alternate “v”. I have checked the Features tab multiple times but cannot find the issue. I even rebuilt that part from scratch once, thinking it would be faster than troubleshooting, but the problem persists.

PLEASEEE IM BEGGING, BEGGING YOUuuU!

I love you

Could you send me a test file?

Yeah sure :-))
