--- Comment #17 from Nicolas Mailhot <nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net> ---
Cantarell VF is the variable version of Cantarell, it does not use exactly the
same metadata mechanisms as the non variable files (that’s another reason it is
dangerous to rely on metadata mechanisms available in static faces but not
their equivalent, variable instances, because the OpenType spec clearly
envisions using variable instances as direct static replacements in the
future).
Anyway, a lot of things were broken in fontconfig’s handling of variable
instances, a lot (but not all of them) have been fixed upstream, but the result
is not available in Fedora yet (even on my Fedora 33 system). If you want to
test variable handling you should ask Akira for a fontconfig package containing
his latest variable fixes.
Right now IIRC variable instance naming should be fixed upstream, but axis
values are completely broken and inconsistent between variable instances and
static faces.
