Not tonight though

Aww, what the heck. So I went and built Sigil-2.1.0 on the older machine per the instructions in Building_on Linux_older.md.
in the end, I have Sigil 2.1.0 with Qt 5.15.30 and as for the preview problem it behaves just like Sigil 1.9.30

So I guess this confirms it's nothing wrong with Sigil itself; but I'm not sure I have exactly the same fonts installed on both machines. BTW if a font substitution is made, is there any way to tell what font it decided to use? I always code a fall-bac font of, say, "serif" in any font specifications, and that has always worked before now ( and still does on other epub readers AFAIK).

again, using the same file on both machines, I get the following:
