   Verified vcpkg tags / commit hashes.

   nit: Discovered image blurring/smoothing worsened from master to PR. Here are two native Windows builds:

    Yes, eerily similar, but it’s not explicitly comparing 6.8 to 6.9 (although the bug is on 6.9). It’s comparing FreeType to native Windows font rendering.

    Also notice that even the cut off corners in the Qt logo are different in my screenshots, which I’m guessing is not font-related.
