Also in the last instances (at least, pages 19 to 25), kerning or

no clue (ok, a little)
sort of fixed but no upload yet (probably next week)
Many thanks for all your fixes, Hans.
BTW, using https://github.com/googlefonts/amstelvar/tree/main/fonts with
the following source:
\usemodule[fonts-variable]
\starttext
\showfontvariations[font=file:Amstelvar-Roman.ttf]
\showfontvariations[font=file:Amstelvar-Italic.ttf]
\stoptext
Font is missing in instances from pages 4, 8-11 (regular font) and 21-23
(italic font).
Glyphs seem wrong on pages 12-13 (regular font) and interletter spacing
is clearly not right in the instance from pages 24-25.
I don’t know whether this has already been fixed with your improvements
yesterday.
the fact that some were not processed relates to a 'fix' of a while back
... also keep in mind that the variable font code was written long ago
when there were only a handful of experimental (and often somewhat
buggy) fonts around showing off the new tricks .. since then there has
not been much interest in variables fonts from the perspective of tex
assuming that i can motivate myself (read: the fonts look nice) i can
probably sort out all the side effects
i'll check if we can deal with tags instead of names as not all fonts
have nice names for the axis defined (which might be why one ends up
with all these predefined instances)
