It cannot generate a family of variable fonts, that are related to one another. This script will update the nametables and STAT tables so a family which has more than one variable font will work correctly in desktop applications. It will also work on single font VF families by creating a better STAT table. TODO make script work on VFs which have multiple axises. We'll need to change the axis array format to v4 (we're using v1), https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/stat#axis-value-table-format-4 Atm, the script will work well for single axis fonts and families which have a single vf for Roman and another for Italic/Condensed, both using the wght axis (covers 95% of GF cases).
