    Description

      In Windows, Qt 6.8.0 displays some font families, e.g. Noto Sans, much thicker when setWeight(QFont::DemiBold) applied to them.  (See the attached screenshot)

      In some cases it prevents Qt application from displaying the same result as in Figma.

      • This issue is not observed with Qt 6.7.3.
      • This issue is not observed in Linux. (Ubuntu 24.04)
      • This issue is not observed with some font families, such as Times New Roman.

       

      The reproducer is attached.
