Dear list,
using the Literata variable fonts from
https://github.com/googlefonts/literata/tree/main/fonts/variable, I have
the following source:
\definefontfeature[myaxis][axis={weight=500, italic=1}]
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Literata][features={default, myaxis}]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
\input zapf\par
\it\input zapf
\stoptext
Other axes than weight (and only when not invoked as 'wght') don’t work
for me (using latest from 2022.12.01 13:05).
I have used the following source (it seems to be a goodie from current
latest):
\usemodule[fonts-variable]
\starttext
\showfontvariations[font=file:literata-italic.ttf]
\showfontvariations[font=file:literata.ttf]
\stoptext
It reports that the Literata fonts have three (design) axes: wght, opsz
and ital. ital is only a design axis.
As explained before, they don’t work for me. How can I access to the
italic and the optical size axes?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
