The Character section (Properties and Window > Character) shows one slider
per axis of the style's variable font below the font style (Weight, Width,
Slant, Italic, or the font's own tag), setting type.setStyle variations; a
drag is one history step. Optical size has no slider: the layout now sets
opsz to the type size unless the style sets it, as CSS font-optical-sizing
auto. Picking a font style or weight resets the wght axis to it, so an
earlier slider value no longer overrides the style the dropdown shows.
Scorecard TYPE-218-4 -> done.
