Adding Variable Fonts to bricks. I downloaded Inter variable font from Google and added it to Bricks Custom Fonts, but when I tfry and add a variation, it seems to undo the addition when I click update, I think this is because it is using the same woff2 file. So I tried the same in the Font Manager, and it does the same, only adds the first Normal or Italic variation.

BTW, cannot add V2.01 tag!

Hi Pete,
Thanks so much for your report.

The problem has already been reported:

WIP: Variation Font Won't Allow Me to Have Multiple Variations of Weight and Font Style

Using a variable font file only shows the font weight selected from the Font Manager, even though the front end CSS specifies a different font weight. It’s as if Bricks is treating the variable file as a regular font file. See second photo showing thin fonts even though CSS says “400” normal font. [image] [image] Also, if you are only supposed to provide a variable font file once, why is there still a way to select the weight and font style for that file (see photo)? @timmse

We’ll revise the font manager, especially when working with variable fonts, as mentioned here:

WAIT: Font Preloading is only loading one weight

Thanks for the video Alan! Yes, we’re aware of the font-weight issues and working on a solution. However, you can use the font-variation settings in this case. In the best case, no font-weight dropdown should be displayed in the font manager (old and new) when uploading a variable font - instead, the font weights should be read out according to the supported ranges (e.g. 100, 200, 300, …, 900) etc. and displayed automatically within the font-weight dropdown in the builder. Possibly supplemente…

I’ll close this thread accordingly, and we’ll update the original thread once the issue is resolved.

Best regards,
