Can I use the capabilities of a variable font with imagettftext()?

Question

When using the gd2 library, I can load a variable font with

imagettftext($image, 24, 0, 10, 100, $black, __DIR__.'/Some-VariableFont.ttf', 'Hello, World!');

But I can't figure out how to set properties such as weight or width.

Is it possible? If yes how?

Answer 1

FreeType has variable font support but GD provides no API to use it, so the answer is "no".
