Variable font naming issues

  • In the Variable Font Setting, just use “Regular” or “Italic” as name. This has influence on how the STAT table is going to be built.
  • For the rest, just make sure that an instance coincides with the origin master.
  • Consider a variationsPostScriptNamePrefix (name ID 25, must be unique per file, so upright and Italic should be different).
  • Consider a family name different from the static one (a user may install both the VF and the static files).
  • Look into mekkablue scripts > Post Production for slightly better italic PS names and/or conversion to STAT ranges.
