Variable font doesn't interpolate kerning

Does kerning problem in vb fonts have not yet been resolved?

The kerning for the slant (second master) is vary
but in GX export, first master kerning apply to it

This should be fixed now.

Hi @GeorgSeifert ,
I have an issue with variable kerning as well. Iā€™m working on a variable font with 6 Masters on a rectangular grid (width and weight) each with individual kerning values. When I generate the GX the kern values of one master are applied to all instances.
Example: Black Compressed kerning value for /T/a is -42, though the applied kerning value is -83, which is the one I use in my Thin instance.

Can you send me the file?

Seems like I have the problem too, please share if you find what have caused it!

@alexs Can could you send me your file?

Hi @GeorgSeifert, I have the exact same issue as @martinplus, since installing Glyphs 3.

Same file in Glyphs 2 exports kerning as intended

Attaching the files. This was a Glyphs 2 file, simplified / resaved in Glyphs 3.
Tried removing the kerning table and kerning again in Glyphs 3, same result. Exported from the latest version

KerningTest2.glyphs (3.6 KB)
KerningTestVariable-Regular.ttf (1.8 KB)

Thanks for the file. I fixed it.
