I was looking again at how to use variable fonts in, say, GVim, thus fontconfig. A variable font is a font that has one or more parameters that change how it looks. An example is Recursive: see https://www.recursive.design/ . I looked at the distfile of fontconfig and to my surprise I found an entry from 2017: "This is the last piece of the puzzle for variable-font support in fontconfig." But is it actually documented anywhere how this can be used? I have searched for years (literally) and never found even a hint. Nothing at all. https://freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html certainly doesn't mention it. Did anyone manage to find out, perhaps by accident or so? -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert <rhialto/at/falu.nl> \X/ There is no AI. There is just someone else's work. --I. Rose
