I’m making my first variable font and i’m having some problems:
Variable Font without instances:
In Illustrator, for some reason, when I play with the Axis it assumes instances that i don’t have in the font. And because of that Illustrator says i don’t have the font installed…
In Indesign, this does not happen…but it don’t recognise my custom Axis…only works width and weight.
Variable font with instances:
If i export the font with instances set, Illustrator and Indesign always crashes when i’m using the Axis…
All this behaviours started to happen when i update the Glyphs App. The font was developed in version 3.6.3 and some early exported fonts never had issues. I updated to version 3.6.4 and since then all this behaviours started to happen.
In InDesign? The implementation is buggy and does not fully support TTF Variable fonts. To see if it is a problem in the font, you need to verify in a browser.
