Actually, I opened:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2271559
    "google-noto-sans-cjk-vf-fonts is not compatible with XeTeX"

the other day as a bug in google-noto-sans-cjk-vf-fonts.

In response, Peng Wu (one of font package maintainers) opened:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2272153
    "xelatex doesn't support font face from named instance of variable fonts"

as a bug in texlive-base.

In #2271559, I was asked to help report this issue to upstream XeTeX,
which is in my to-do list.

It sounds like there should be a way for XeTeX to identify variable fonts
and ignore them.

        Thanks, Akira
