Alas, I'm quite busy with other things right now (especially after the transition of the FreeType repository to gitlab.freedesktop.org). Do you have interest and time to extend `ftbench`? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype-demos/-/blob/master/src/ftbench.c The idea is to add another test that is run only if the font is identified as a VF. I guess the total amount of necessary code is less than 50 lines. Werner
