    Description

      The macOS FreeType backend fails to load font face variations of variable fonts (e.g. Regular, Light, Medium, etc.).

      Example font: the variable version of the font "Inter" (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Inter). It always renders as "Regular".

      Reproduction (run with argument -platform cocoa:fontengine=freetype):

      #include <QGuiApplication>
      #include <QFont>
      #include <QFontInfo>
      #include <QDebug>
      
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
          QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
      
          QFont font("Inter");
          font.setStyleName("Light");
          font.setPixelSize(12);
      
          QFontInfo info(font);
          qDebug() << info.family() << info.styleName();
      }
      

      Actual output:

      "Inter" "Regular"
      

      Expected output:

      "Inter" "Light"
