Could you try using 700 instead of 75?

There was no significant change to the font preference code, but the 
default 0.6.8 binary is compiled with Qt 6 instead of Qt 5 (which was 
used for 0.6.7). And the docs say that a new scale was introduced - in 
line with OpenType, apparently. In this new scale, "Bold", which 
corresponded to 75 in Qt 5 
[https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.15/qfont.html#Weight-enum], now corresponds to 
700 [https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qfont.html#Weight-enum].

HTH,
Stefan
