May be for testing, but we don’t have test color fonts either. I don’t think we
need to ship every kind of font to the users, but we should be able to use
fonts they have installed (deprecated font formats notwithstanding).

I'm fine to not bundle specifically Source Sans Variable, but with work done on
bug 103596 and bug 152206 remaining do we need at least one variable font
bundled for fall back when 'fvar' table calls are used?

I don't see why this was made a duplicate of bug 103596, as thus obe is about
replacing a font and should be judged on its own merit.

--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote  ---
There is no internal UI for working with OpenType 1.8 OTF Variable fonts. Work
flows would need to be altered as would printing and export.

Why would we change over to Source Sans Variable now? Absent correct handling
of the variable font--we would get an arbitrary and likely unusable rendering
of the font--or more likely a fall-back to another on system font. We'd just be
wasting space in the deployment package.

Until such time as support for OTF 1.8.2 "fvar" (bug 103596) is implemented
substituting this or any other variable font makes no sense.

Duping this to bug 103596, as only when that enhancement is undertaken would it
make sense to adopt any variable font.
