Hi, 

I was experimenting with variable fonts in ConTeXt. While all seems to work well when using a ttf font (like Recursive_VF_1.085.ttf), I am struggling to use .otf ones, like the Source Code Pro (downloaded from https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro/releases/tag/2.042R-u%2F1.062R-i%2F1.026R-vf ). 

Minimal example:

________________________________________
\definefontfeature[myaxis][axis={weight=500}]
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Source Code VF]
  [features={default, myaxis}]

% Works when replacing the two above lines with these
%\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Recursive]
%  [features={default, myaxis}]

\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
\mainface Hallo
\stoptext

The (from what I understand) relevant part of the log is:

Interestingly, all works well if I delete the file SourceCodeVF-Upright.otf from my font directory to force the use of SourceCodeVF-Upright.ttf instead. 
Is there something wrong in my example which causes issues with the otf variant?

Cheers,
Florent
