Please add direct control of the axes of variable fonts beyond just the pre-defined styles (regular, light, bold, etc.).

Example:

When present, the weight axis of a variable font can be set to any number between 1 and 1000 (or a subset range defined by the font). In the current version of Pixelmator Pro, this intended design flexibility is replaced with a limited menu of pre-defined styles like "Light," "Regular," "Bold," etc.

Other variable font axes like Width, Optical Size, and Grade are completely discarded.

With more and more fonts being release as variable fonts, it only makes sense to give users control over all available parameters.
