+:py:meth:`PIL.ImageFont.FreeTypeFont.set_variation_by_name` for using named styles, and
+:py:meth:`PIL.ImageFont.FreeTypeFont.get_variation_axes` and
+:py:meth:`PIL.ImageFont.FreeTypeFont.set_variation_by_axes` for using font axes
+instead. An ``IOError`` will be raised if the font is not a variation font. FreeType
