I appreciate the changes broke consistency for @var between @deffn and @deftypefn. What I've done is use the ttsl font for @var in @def lines if txicodevaristt is @set (currently the default, in the future to be turned off). This means if documents use the two types of @def* command together with @var, the font style for @var with be the same for both.
