This issue has really been bugging me. Within the design you can select a font for example Segoe Variable UI, and underneath the font you can select options from a drop down such as Display Bold. Now the design gets handed off and a developer sees that you used Segoe Variable UI and it will show them that you’re using a font-weight of 700, however, the font you actually used is Segoe Variable UI Display Bold which has it’s own TTF/WOFF file and for all intensive purposes is an entirely different font. This makes working with the designs difficult because in development mode and viewer permissions you never are told that they used the secondary font style selection of Display Bold and simply choosing Segoe Variable UI and font weight 700 (which is what it will say) does not create the same look because as I said Display Bold is an entirely separate font of it’s own.
