Variable Fonts v0.2

A simple resource for finding and trying variable fonts

Variable fonts support

This table lists support for variable fonts in various operating systems, browsers, and other software, with links to original source reference. It is an ongoing and incomplete list that oversimplifies the definition of “support”*, but it is a start. It may eventually include details about specific aspects of OpenType font variation technology (for example, CFF-flavored variable fonts are still vastly unsupported).

For more info on web browser support, I recommend Can I Use.
