    I do not see any significant difference (other than different system fonts): Here is MacOS rendering https://sciter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/mac-os-front.png https://sciter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/mac-os-front.p...

  Also depends what you mean by rendering. Skia also uses system library for font shaping (CoreText on macOS and direct2d on windows), but also has support for using harfbuzz instead (which works on any platform, even for WebAssembly).
