For Adobe fonts, Webflow does support variable controls. However, it's important to note that not all Adobe fonts have variable capabilities. Here are some steps to check if you are using variable controls correctly and how to troubleshoot the issue if it persists:

  1. Confirm that the Adobe font you are using in Webflow has variable capabilities. You can do this by checking the Adobe Fonts website or the font's documentation. Look for information about variable fonts or font variations.

  2. If the font does support variable controls, make sure you have enabled the variable control feature in Webflow. To do this:

  • Select the text element on your Webflow page that you want to apply the variable font to.
  • In the Typography panel, click on the font dropdown menu.
  • Scroll down or search for the Adobe font you want to use.
  • If the font supports variable controls, you will see a "V" icon beside the font name.
  • Click on the "V" icon to enable the variable controls.
  • Adjust the sliders or input values to customize the font's variations, such as weight or width.
  1. If you have followed these steps and still don't see variable controls for your Adobe font, there might be a specific issue related to that font or its integration with Webflow. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
  • Make sure you have the latest version of the Adobe font installed on your computer.
  • Clear your browser cache and restart the browser.
  • Try using a different browser to see if the issue persists.
  • Reach out to the Webflow support team or the Adobe Fonts support team for further assistance. They can help you troubleshoot the specific issue you are encountering.

In conclusion, variable controls are supported for Adobe fonts in Webflow, but it's important to ensure that the specific font you are using has variable capabilities. If you are experiencing issues with variable controls, follow the steps outlined above to troubleshoot the problem.
