Variable Fonts: Align Stroke to Center shows overlaps
When using variable fonts, the Align Stroke to Center shows the overlaps in letters with live text (not good). If I use Align Stroke to Outside the overlaps arenʻt shown with live text (good) but once I use Type > Create Outlines the overlaps are shown (not good).
This happens in many variable fonts, for example Source Code VF Concept (see screenshot attached), but also true with my own variable fonts and those from other type foundries.
With the non-variable font version, the Stroke looks good in all settings mentioned here. The variable font version should look the same. Thank you!

I also reported this and while it may be a variable width font structure issue and not just Adobe, it is still a critical issue.

Just adding my two pence here.. I've got several variable fonts with which I cannot use strokes in InDesign, including Helvetica Now Variable, which wasn't cheap. Please fix this issue. (In the meantime, if there's a practical work-around, can someone point me to it?) Thank you.
