On the luaotfload tracker was a bug report that the loading of a font failed if too many character variant were requested

I wanted to check if the problem still exist with a current fontloader. Here (both context and latex) the loading of this fonts fails even if no character variants at all are requested:
What are character variants? Anyway, if it's "features" there is no relation between choosing features and loading a font.
As far as I got it they are open type features to select variants of characters and are used as any other open type feature: ;+cv01=0;+cv02=0;+cv03=0;+cv04=0;+cv05=0;+cv06=0;... In the bug report the problem seemed to be that the user used so many of this features that some string got too long. But due to the other error I couldn't look at it yet.
it is in the 07-iosevka-type-slab-2.0.0.zip. Hm, another of these N x M instance fonts generated from a common source? I can catch the bad coverage table but it will never render okay.
Thanks. And I will forwared the warning ;-). -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
