    Compiling fonts with Glyphs uses 'rlig' which works in InDesign.
    However FontTools which is used in many open source based production workflows, uses 'rclt' and this is unsupported by InDesign, despite being a “mandatory” OpenType feature.

    Some high-profile fonts make use of this, including Google’s Material Symbols UI icon font. In the currently shipping version, this is mostly only causing problems with 100% Fill, when combined with multiple other axes being at a setting other than the default.

    However I can attest that a planned enhancement entirely relies on this working. So that is going to be a problem.

    This is super frustrating.
    Problem in other Adobe apps as well.
    Making weird hacked fonts to try to work around Adobe bugs is irritating, seeing as the build chain doesn’t natively support the wacky feature duplication required.
