Yes, I have attached another example with different font sizes
(8,9,10). The exact weight is impossible to replicate, I tried with
"light" and "normal".

I think that the problem might be the lack of hinting. In my
fonts.conf file I have both "hinting" and "autohinting" enabled. if
I disable these options then the fonts in other applications resemble
a lot the ones I am getting now with mpl.

Bye.
