Description: Congratulations on all the progress made in font feature support with version 7.5. I tested a variable font (Martian Mono: https://github.com/evilmartians/mono/blob/main/fonts/variable/MartianMono%5Bwdth%2Cwght%5D.ttf) under macOS 12.6.3. The VF has 8 named instances: Thin ExtraLight Light Regular Medium SemiBold Bold ExtraBold Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install the font. 2. In Libre Office 7.5.0.3 > Format > Character, choose "Family: Martian Mono". 3. Open "Typeface". Actual Results: See the following: Regular SemiExpanded Regular Thin ExtraLight Light SemiBold Bold ExtraBold Italic Bold Italic Expected Results: Thin ExtraLight Light Regular Medium SemiBold Bold (the VF doesn't have any Italic, Medium is missing, SemiExpanded Regular is not a named instance) Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: I also test Labrada (https://github.com/Omnibus-Type/Labrada/tree/main/fonts/variable): Medium named instance is missing.

I forgot the last item in the "Expected Results" list: Thin ExtraLight Light Regular Medium SemiBold Bold ExtraBold
These are the named instances reported by CoreText (you can check with FontBook, you will see the same list of styles), so it is either a font or CoreText bug. The italic styles are synthesized by LibreOffice when missing, which is a standard behavior. We are missing Medium though, needs investigation.
Does not look like a variable fonts issue, duplicate of bug 147739 actually. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 147739 ***
Medium is available in FontBook (for Martian Mono and Labrada).
