For the record: See this Windows specific bug in Qt that caused some fonts to be detected as italic when not, and other bugs that were italic to be detected as normal:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-73660

The fix for this bug will be in Qt 5.12.2 and later which we will be using for our next release.

Even on Mac, if I repair a font using a font utility the older OS2 font tables are generally ignored. That leaves some fonts as broken under Qt even though Qt follows the OS2 font table spec on Windows.
