Toot

Written by Thomas Phinney, Font Detective on 2024-12-17 at 05:39

The more I try to use variable fonts in apps, the more frustrated I am by the utterly brain-dead design decisions.

Worst common problem is putting axes on a temporary-activation pop-up. Adobe, Affinity 😞

LOOK, we need to see them on an ONGOING basis, see the axis settings of arbitrary text, AND apply them easily. Having something like the Color Picker and Swatches panels, but for variable font axis settings, that would be a good approach. (And no, Char/Para Styles ALONE are not the answer.)
