Many thanks for all your fixes, Hans.

BTW, using https://github.com/googlefonts/amstelvar/tree/main/fonts with
the following source:

  \usemodule[fonts-variable]
  \starttext
    \showfontvariations[font=file:Amstelvar-Roman.ttf]
    \showfontvariations[font=file:Amstelvar-Italic.ttf]
  \stoptext

Font is missing in instances from pages 4, 8-11 (regular font) and 21-23
(italic font).

Glyphs seem wrong on pages 12-13 (regular font) and interletter spacing
is clearly not right in the instance from pages 24-25.

I don’t know whether this has already been fixed with your improvements
yesterday.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
