  Is it possible to know the full font family of Bahnschrift will be available in InDesign. Italics are not working Ind 2020 or Ind 2021. Thank you

  The Myriad Variable Concept typefaces do not print with InDesign. They do, however, with Illustrator. Version 15.0.1

  Hello Adobe-Team,
InDesign tagged text is inconsistent in it's use, which produces errors while using it. For example, I would expect that I can set the axis values of a variable font with two axis in <cTypeface> like this:
<cTypeface:Weight-612.000 Width-126.000>
But this does not work. When I export the tagged text with custom settings to the axis I get the following:
<cTypeface:Weight-612.000Condensed Width-126.000>
It looks like InDesign takes one name of an axis out of the name table, in this case 'Condensed' for the axis 'Width'. But this is not necessary for the 'Weight' axis. This is kind of inconsistent.A different example with only one weight axis, I would expect this:
<cTypeface:Weight-666.000> (which does not work)
but working InDesign tagged text in fact looks like this:
<cTypeface:Thin-666.000>Thanks a lot for your help on this.
BTW: I love that InDesign supports variable fonts, now.Olli

  Please add the variable font feature asap in InDesign - I've just looked for it as I am using a variable font for a logo in Illustrator which I want to transfer across for some publishing in!

  Reallllly need this support to exist!
Thanks for your work on it, Abhinav. :)
I'm hoping that your team can prioritize it, as it's definitely one of the most important recent developments in typography, and InDesign is one of the most valuable use cases for variable font control.

  We use variable font as corporate. Doing all text layouts in Illustartator looks like nightmare to me.
Adobe guys, make it happen, please! Or just give us an approximate time. -

  +1. This feature will be super beneficial in terms of streamlining my Idesign-Illustrator workflow.

I have a lovely three-axis (soon to be four-axis) variable font in development, which I would like to test in InDesign. Looking forward to the new functionality one of these days!

  InDesign is the main desktop publishing and typesetting software and Illustrator is the software that was created for Vector paintings/Illustrations as the name says, so why Illustrator has this feature instead of InDesign?
