Variable Font (Source Sans 3) some Characters not available
macOS Ventura 13.5.2 (22G91), InDesign 19.0
Since the update to Indesign 2024 (or version 19.0), some letters can no longer be selected in bold or black for the variable version of the font "Source Sans 3". When adjusting the slider, they become thinner again (instead of thicker) from a weight of 600. It affects e.g. the small a, e and l, but not the i, s... etc. they are also not displayed in the glyphs. With font weights below 600 (up to and including semibold) everything works fine (variable and with font weights). This applies to both the TT-version (download) and the version via Creative Cloud / Adobe Fonts. When installing the font via download, all characters are correctly available in the system, but not in Indesign. The font also works without problems in Illustrator.

Same here: macOS Sonoma 14.0, InDesign 19.0. Font Spezia Complete Variable Upright. Characters are I, l and point, comma. From weight 500+ these characters do not adjust to the variable axis. In InDesign 18.5 everything is fine.
