 commentedThis issue also happens in Arabic (where using the World-Ready composers is absolutely necessary). See the attached picture of Markazi Text, which exhibits two problems: * The advance widths do not variate when using the VF (red line showing how the line lengths match when they shouldn't) 
 * Mark positioning does not variate either, or is generally wrong (orange and green rectangles)The advance width problem is particularly bad when using a thin weight that has a lower advance width: it makes the letters disconnect from each other. The Markazi Text font can be downloaded from: https://github.com/BornaIz/markazitext/tree/master/fonts As an aside: there are 2 other copies of this discussion, could you please merge them or delete the others? I commented on another one already that has 3 votes, but I'm copying my comment here as this discussion seems to have been noticed by Adobe. Thanks in advance! https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/39701212-variable-fonts-broken-with-world-ready-paragraph-c

I'm writing on behalf of Dalton Maag to underline that this bug is a major issue that is affecting a growing number of clients. Thanks in advance for looking into it urgently.
This forum highlights some workarounds that others have found, and which we have also tried on our end but to no avail: https://forum.glyphsapp.com/t/indesign-v17-2-and-gravecomb/22131/19
