I had to check this out myself.
Customising COLRv1 fonts in Affinity 3.2

Everyone, please have a very colourful and fine day!

So I was trying to detect browser support for COLRv1 font palettes. I thought this would work:

.colrv1-supported-area {
display: none;
}

@supports (font-palette: --1) {
.colrv1-supported-area {
display: block;
}
}

But it does not. The .colrv1-supported-area block shows up even in Safari Desktop and on iOS where COLRv1 palettes are not supported.

Anyone out there have a working solution for this? Or should I just give up on detecting support? #COLRv1 #ColorFonts #webDesign

We have just been asked, if it is possible to make variable fonts with transparency and gradients.
Sure you can … Thanks to #COLRv1 … the question is, if you will be able to use them anywhere.
Quick proof of concept made in @fontlab 8, tested in #FontGauntlet on @Vivaldi
