Themes with both section, font and combined style variations look like they have duplicate variations

[dsas]

Quick summary

The Twenty Twenty Five theme is showing 24 style variations in the theme showcase but there are only 8 actual variations included with the theme. The theme makes use of separate typeset (8) and colour sets (7), which all require separate style variation json files.

They're technically different variations but seem like duplicates because they have the same name. For example there is a twilight style variation which uses a colour set and a typeset as well as various block-specific settings. There is also a Twilight colour set which is solely a color set (the same palette as in the full Twilight style variation).

This also happens for the assembler theme but it seems less duplicative because all of the variations have different names - there are color sets and typesets, but no combined ones with the same name.

Logs or notes

WordPress.org faced the same problem. They addressed it by only displaying style variations with the same name once - in which case they displayed the one with the longest settings.

Longer term we should look at how we display style variations, typesets and coloursets within the theme showcase.
