What changed
FontLibrary.use()sources to select a one-based OpenTypefvarnamed instanceFontLibrary.family()Why
Some variable fonts use multiple axes for a named face, such as optical size plus weight. Registering the variable file and later selecting only
wghtloses the named instance's other coordinates. This makes it impossible to register a face such as{ opsz: 14, wght: 300 }faithfully.The new API is additive:
Existing string-path registration is unchanged.
Validation
npm test— 142 tests passed{ opsz: 14, wght: 300 }named instance retains identical metrics when the caller requests other CSS weights
