Same font differs in thickness in qt 5.3 and 5.15.

Hello,
I have taken a font sample application from qt version 5.3 and 5.15 (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-painting-fontsampler-example.html). I cross compiled it for linux AM335X target. The output of Helvetica font appears to be slightly different with respect to font thickness on both the versions. Can you help me understand why there is a difference in the appearance of same font on same target? -
Qt doesn't implement its own fonts, and to my knowledge that was already the case in 5.3.
Probably your AM335X has no Helvetica font installed on the system. In that case, Qt tries to find the closest match. The only thing that comes to mind is that Qt 5.3 and 5.15 have different opinions on what is the closest match.
