for example, https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Bitter, if have the variable font version Bitter-VariableFont_wght.ttf installed, selecting font weight by #set text(font: "Bitter", weight: "medium") would still render the ExtraLight variant and setting other weight options would not change the font weight appeared in the PDF output anyway.

Same here. With these fonts:

QuadraatPro.otf
QuadraatPro-Ita.otf
QuadraatPro-Demibold.otf
QuadraatPro-DemiboldItalic.otf
QuadraatPro-Bold.otf
QuadraatPro-BoldIta.otf

#set text(font: "Quadraat Pro") selects Quadraat Pro Italic. I did not manage to get the Regular style. Names in the system are: Regular, Italic, Demibold, Demibold Italic, Bold, Bold Italic.

Typst does not support variable fonts at the moment. They could be a good addition.

@owiecc This is an unrelated bug on normal font discovery. I will file a separate issue.

What is missing here? Is any current work addressing this?

There is no current work. Supporting variable fonts is a major effort. It needs large changes to the font handling and to the PDF export.

@laurmaedje I work on the Google Fonts team and I'm a big proponent for variable fonts. If you want any free consulting advice on this topic, please reach out to me or [email protected] :) I wrote a little about this for the Flutter team here

@davelab6 Thanks for the offer! We'll get back to it when we start work on variable fonts.
