The text is drawn corrupted in certain circumstance.
It appears the problem occurs when:
- QTextDocument based text
- The font is styled as bold
- The font has no explicit bold typeface installed (for example Geneva)
- The painter drawing the font is scaled smaller (less than 1.0 scale)
- macOS (Windows is fine)
Here's part of code
    QTextDocument doc;
    {
        QTextCursor cursor(&doc);
        QTextCharFormat qtf;
        QFont myFont("Geneva");
        myFont.setPixelSize(200);
        myFont.setStyleStrategy(QFont::NoAntiali
        qtf.setForeground(QColor(0, 0, 0));
        myFont.setBold(true);
        qtf.setFont(myFont);
        cursor.insertText("Bold Geneva\n", qtf);
        ....
     }
    
    QImage pic(600, 400, QImage::Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied);
    pic.fill(QColor(255, 255, 255));
    {
        // approx 100% size
        QPainter painter(&pic);
        painter.translate(0, 50);
        painter.scale(0.25, 0.25);
        doc.drawContents(&painter);
    }
    pic.save("/Users/qtsupport/test_scaled.png");
How to reproduce
1. Use attached project  qtbug103215.zip 
 
2. Modify the file path to your own in main.cpp
pic.save("/Users/qtsupport/test_scaled.png");
3. Build and run the application
4. Open the created "test_scaled.png"
If the font has no installed bold typeface, it may not expect bold to appear perfectly. 
However, it should not draw corrupted.
