hmtx/HVAR

It seems to me that Illustrator is not properly handling metrics in variable fonts. First I though it was about a missing HVAR but even with that it is keeping the metrics of the default layer.
Photoshop handles the same fonts just fine (with the exception of AmstelvarAlpha-VF-2017-01-23, that is not shown in the font menu of Photoshop but works in Illustrator).
(Where would be the best place to report those problems?)

Maybe this could be a good help:

If those fonts don't work properly, then it must be a bug in AI or PS. But if they work, maybe something is missing in the fonts.0 -
Good suggestion and both fonts from Adobe don’t work correctly.1
