Please go to
https://sources.voidlinux.org/cantarell-fonts-0.201/
and obtain
cantarell-fonts-0.201.tar.xz.
Expand it and goto the directory
cantarell-fonts-0.201/prebuilt
In the directory make a tex file:
% test.tex
\nopagenumbers\font\xxx="[Cantarell-VF.otf]" at 10pt
\xxx Write gibberish here.\bye
Then run
xetex -no-pdf test.tex
xdvipdfmx test.xdv
The error message will be:
test.xdv -> test.pdf
[1
xdvipdfmx:fatal: invalid offsize data
No output PDF file written.
Maybe the present xdvipdfmx can't handle variable fonts,
but Karl says the message is not appropriate.
Best,
Akira
