Both Lato and Lota have such classes in the fraction feature.

Interesting.
I don't know, when I tried to use Delicattes font with optimization, it didn't work. But when I took the optimized font and "broken up" the classes, and then uploaded it to canva, it worked again.

I suspect there is/was a bug in Canva that somehow did not occur when you slightly changed the OpenType layout features, so at first it sounds plausible it was due to classes. But I don't think the Canva bug is related to classes.

I see.

Anyway, my solution is to disable optimized fonts. My fonts work on Canva when I do that.

I understand this workaround helps you overcome the issues with Canva, but it is best if wee continue to tell Canva to fix their font related issues.

Can you export a test font with and without the Optimize option and see if both work or not? that would help me when I contact Canva.
