I’m somehow getting three Weight axes in Adobe apps when I export my variable font. It only has one weight axis with 2 masters. Is this a known issue and is there a fix? Has anyone encountered this before? I’m using version 4.1.1 (4108).

Did you use any HOI in this font?

I played around with some HOI points but the font wouldn’t export. Let me make sure I’ve removed all HOI points and see if that solves it.

That fixed it. I had one glyph with HOI (but it was non-exporting). I ran Rainer’s HOI cleaner script on the whole font and that solved it.

Do you happen to have the broken file still? If so, could you send it to debug this?
