Printing failure for variable fonts

OpenType font variation is published over 2 years ago, however it doesn't take effect on PDFCreator while I try to use that, it doesn't understand font variation at all.

Figure 1. Windows 10 includes Bahnschrift font since version 1703, the font has 5 weights, and a condensed variant. The font should looks like this on screen (Source file (925 Bytes), note: rename as RTF file before you use that):


But after printing with PDFCreator, only regular weight available in the PDF file.

Figure 2. Adobe released a free font Source Sans Pro, it's sibling Source Sans Variable is also used font variation, freely available at GitHub, it should looks like this (Source file (545 Bytes), note: rename as RTF file before you use that):

After printing with PDFCreator, only light weight works.

Version: 3.5.1

Hi,

I saw Microsoft Print to PDF can do it without any configuration, so I hope you can get implementation as well.
