Exporting .woff2 from a Variable Font lose my axes

Glyphs
1

Hi guys. I have developed a Variable Font with 2 axes which now I need to export in woff2 to play with css (the GX file works fine in Axis-Praxis and in Adobe Illustrator). I have noticed that when I export the font in .woff or .woff2 format Glyphs get me woff font by each instance I have (and deactivating them all less one doesn’t solve my problem). I’m very frustrated because my .gx font works well but in the way to get a woff format I always lose my axes and the result font just have the same behavour as one single style font. How can I export my Variable Font in .woff2 preserving the axes I have done?

Thanks :slight_smile:

The Webfont export does not export a variable font but instantiates a single font. You can compress the variable font with command line tools.

This is my question too.
How can I convert variable Font to woff format?
Is there a tutorial to convert it with command line?

There are commandline tools and other conversion tools for turning the TTF into a WOFF/WOFF2. They don’t come from us though. I believe OTMaster can convert as well.

May I ask whether variable web formats are planned to be supported? Since variable fonts are more useful on the web, seems like it makes a lot if sense to have a possibility to export them. Or is there something wrong about it?

It is on my list.

It is still on our list. For now, convert it with one of the WOFF tools.
