Question: VFont supported or not?

[johannesvollmer]

Does this support variable fonts?

[Siddhantjadhav69]

Pretext relies on canvas.font, which does not support font-variation-settings.
However, variable fonts can still work if their axes (like "wght") are mapped through standard font properties like font-weight.

For example:

ctx.font = '700 16px "InterVariable"';

If you're using font-variation-settings, it won’t affect measurement unless it's reflected in the font string.

A practical workaround is to encode variation axes into the font string before passing it to Pretext, and re-run prepare() whenever those values change.

Thanks!
