The effect of the weight/sharpness slider does seem to have changed in 3.13.1, although the values it sets in the .conf file are the same, those values seem to be interpreted differently when it comes to setting the actual weight and sharpness.

I haven't noticed change in the fonts weight on my Glo, but they do seem to be much sharper with 3.13.1.

I find most of the built-in fonts are far too dark, so I have the weight/sharpness slider set well below the default level for fonts like Georgia. In firmware 3.11.0 and 3.12.x reducing the weight caused the sharpness to reduce a lot more, so I had to use a firmware patch to keep the sharpness high when I lowered the weight. But with 3.13.1 I don't need to use the patch anymore, the sharpness seems to be much higher at low font weights.
