    Description

      When rendering text with different weights using the Source Code Pro font on Gentoo Linux, all text looks the same. On Windows and Ubuntu Linux everything is fine.

      Here is a simple demo:

      #include <QApplication>
      #include <QWidget>
      #include <QPainter>
      
      class Widget : public QWidget
      {
      protected:
          void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *)
          {
              const auto weights = {
                  QFont::Thin,
                  QFont::ExtraLight,
                  QFont::Light,
                  QFont::Normal,
                  QFont::Medium,
                  QFont::DemiBold,
                  QFont::Bold,
                  QFont::ExtraBold,
                  QFont::Black
              };
      
              QPainter p(this);
              p.fillRect(rect(), Qt::white);
              p.setPen(Qt::black);
      
              int y = 30;
              for (const auto weight : weights) {
                  QFont f("Source Code Pro", 14, weight);
                  Q_ASSERT(f.weight() == weight);
      
                  p.setFont(f);
                  p.drawText(5, y, QString("Qt Framework (%1)").arg(weight));
                  y += p.fontMetrics().height();
              }
          }
      };
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
          QApplication a(argc, argv);
      
          Widget w;
          w.setMinimumSize(200, 300);
          w.show();
      
          return a.exec();
      }
