 * A migration to the fontsource API (which supports variable fonts) is in the works,
   but I can’t give an ETA just yet, because there’s more things to consider (the
   other API only supports WOFF and WOFF2, for example)

 * Small update: I’m still researching the possibilities here. But since it basically
   requires a complete refactor of the code, it’ll take a while. Sorry.

 * Hi again [@rookie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rookie/),
 * [This beta](https://filetransfer.io/data-package/nzF912ID#link) includes basic
   support for Variable Fonts. If a Google Font is a variable font, it basically
   pulls the stylesheet from the Google Fonts API and rewrites it to only include
   local files.
 * Still have a looong way to go to offer full support for Variable Fonts, but this
   is a step in the right direction. 🙂

 * [@daanvandenbergh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daanvandenbergh/) Cool
   and amazing! With variable fonts do you still need to pick 700 as weight as you
   remember the discussion only adding 400 and anything outside bold as the browser
   can sort 700 and italic themselves. While if you need 800 or 900 you have to 
   load the font.
 * Haven’t looked at the new UI but if all font weights to pick is still there I
   would ask the same questions how it works with variable fonts. You must be the
   expert on it now just integrated it.
 * Does it work smooth with the additional fonts plugin?
