Drop variable font into new TransType 5 → add arbitrary instances → pick OpenType TT → turn on Install → click Convert → Use any variable font instance in any app. Say hello to variable fonts for the rest of us. fontlab.com/transtype
Stop fighting Bézier handles. Try Vextra plugin for Illustrator.
Vextra adds the contour tools type designers have had for years and Illustrator somehow never got.

vexy.art/lines/ for Mac & Windows ($99) has a cool new way to use & show variable fonts. Add image & pattern fill; pick variable font & text. Vexy Lines typesets it on the pattern lines. Each text glyph picks its variable instance from the brightness of the image beneath it! Export to SVG / PDF. Drop into your font specimen or a publication.

I have developed with generous help of my friend AI an Fontlab 7 script that assigns Private Use Are Unicode values from E001 to E999 for glyphs that don't have any Unicode values (i.e. your own dingbats that don't fit conceptually into any existing Unicode category, except PUA).
