fontra-workflow is quite capable of trimming axes, aka. slicing the designspace.
However, when we want to export variable components (either as source or as ttf/otf + VARC) it can be beneficial to trim the variable glyphs of redundant axes and sources.
This involves to steps:
analyze which slice of a variable glyph's designspace is acgtually used throughout the font
slice the variable glyphs accordingly
I'm not yet sure how hard step 1 is for deeply nested components. I assume it should be done in as many steps as there are levels of nesting: process glyphs from shallow to deep usage.
We have the logic for step 2, but it may have to be refactored. It is currently only used for global axes.
