    Just an update. It appears the issue is related to whatever values are set as the axis 'default' in the designspace file. If the value is an intermediate, even if there's a master at that location, I get the error.

    But if I use values from the extremes, everything works correctly? More info here: https://github.com/scribbletone/whoa-var-debug

    I'm getting some weird things happening with a 4-axis font I'm working on.

    Illustrator seems to mangle the outlines for some of the masters. I realize this font is doing some weird stuff, but hoping for some clarification if it's a bug in Illustrator or my font. It appears correctly on the web though, on Axis Praxis(Chrome).

    Here's a ttf showing the issue. It only has an 'H' glyph present. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1thbfLniU2DsMd_crKE9yRNfSEPbF2dLw/view?usp=sharing

    If it's helpful, there's more information about the typeface and intentions at the link below. This issue is related to an upcoming version which isn't available yet. https://www.futurefonts.xyz/scribble-tone/whoa

    Mac OS 10.14.4
    Illustrator(latest version)
    Photoshop(latest version)

    Thanks!
