Re: Variable fonts
I emailed an expert yesterday and have received a prompt and very thorough reply.
Both emails, name redacted but otherwise exact transcripts, are now in the Serif forum thread that was mentioned in the previous post.

Re: Font issue in Word 2016
Firstly, I do not have Word 2016 or the other software packages that you mention. Also I am using FontCreator 8. I am using Windiws 10. So I cannot directly try the problem here. However, it might be that I can help with the underlying problem and you could if you wish then try the suggestion and te...

I wanted to try to look at the Bahnschrift font uisng ViewHex to try to follow how the fvar table and other tables are constructed in the variable font. So I tried to make a copy of the font from the Fonts directory to another folder so as not to risk spoiling the original, but I cannot seem to be a...

Re: Variable fonts
Hi Erwin Thank you for your reply. I have made a post to the OpenType list - in fact I sent it twice because I thought that it had not worked. Later I found both versions in a spam folder. Oops. Anyway, did you get a copy from the OpenType list or has it gone to your spam folder or maybe just gone? ...
