An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment I have a pre-release font using 'rclt' in the way outlined by Nikolaus above.
It is a next-generation version of a widely-used typeface. Unfortunately 'rvrn' is not an option in this case.

The issue has been fixed in the latest release of InDesign – InDesign 2021. The fix was also available in the previous version of InDesign – version 15.1.2
Please update to either of these versions of InDesign to get the fix.—
Adobe InDesign teamAn error occurred while saving the comment It seems to have gotten worse, or something in latest builds of our font makes it worse.
IT NOW COMPLETELY LOCKS INDESIGN MAC (latest ID update of a couple weeks ago).UPDATE: not completely locked. But after I tried to move the weight slider, it took about 6-8 minutes for ID to update the screen the first time, after the spinning beach ball (on a new MacBook with 32 GB of RAM). Every time I try to do anything, including click in the text, anything at all, it is more spinning.
My entire document is one page, with one text box, with three words in it.
An error occurred while saving the comment I previously reported this, with many further details, in the ID pre-release forum. But I didn’t even get a response. :(
In our case, it is an open source font for Google, that is almost finished. It has four axes: weight, width, y opaque (contrast) and ***** (italic).

An error occurred while saving the comment I am experiencing this as well. It is a set of additional distortions and behaviors, on top of the basic ones that affect screen and print, that only occur on PDF export.

Variable Font support has been implemented in InDesign 2020. Please upgrade to this version of InDesign to use this feature.

Adobe InDesign teamAn error occurred while saving the comment 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!
However, coding this with 'calt' instead of 'rclt' does work in InDesign at least (and probably other CoolType apps).
This is more of a hack, as these are usually not things one wants users to be able to turn off (potentially by accident). And of course fonttools does not support this so one would have to do it as a post-processing step. But it is definitely better than “doesn’t work at all in Adobe CoolType apps like InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.”
