P: Error with variable fonts in Photoshop

Thanks @c.pfaffenbichler this issue was fixed with the 25.4 beta release.  If anyone is still seeing this please start a new thread with the details. We will close this thread as fixed.

Thanks,

Cory - Photoshop Product Manager

It should be resolved now (edit: 25.4):

@faqihdsg , @CShubert stated that the team is aware, so we can assume the bug is on the list and should not be removed unless it has been addressed. 

But … some Photoshop bugs have lingered for years and the Illustrator team even let a bug persist for more than a decade so it seems impossible for »outsiders« to estimate if and when this will be resolved. 

I had to do the same! 

is the team still aware of this issue? or even looking at this issue?

It still doesn't work neither for me nor my teammate. I currently have to use Illustrator to paste text Smart Objects into Phtoshop. 

I am also using 25.3.1 and it still does not work for me. It should work on the latest release. Always. And it's been 5 months since this has been reported. Maybe I'll try deleting and reinstalling Montserrat but I think that's been tried before by others.

Hi! I totally get your frustratioon. 

I just wanted to give you a heads up that I tried Monserrat in different font weights and it works - so i Think this particular issue has been resolved. I amd using 25.3.1 Photoshop release. So you might try to update your version, or even go back to an older one. That what happened with me in InDesign, some font weights (can't remember now which one particularly) didn't work for me in a newer release, so I had to go back to an older version of it. Hope it'll help!

Still waiting for this issue to be resolved for the original font listed... Montserrat. I'm not a coder, so excuse my frustration with the length of time this is taking but I do not understand why it's taking so long! I just don't get it. Please fix this soon. 

Hi, thank you. I saw the reply that the team was looking into this issue (it was in September). 

The fonts I had a problem with are: 
Mulish ExtraBold, Black, and ExtraBlack

There were other fonts a way back, but this one was recently.
