Impeller rendering font weight wrong on Flutter 3.7

[RobertBrunhage]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone https://github.com/RobertBrunhage/impeller_font_issue/tree/main
2. flutter run to use Skia and see the font weight that you expect
3. flutter run --enable-impeller and the medium font weight will be more bold than Skia.

Expected results:
That the font weight should be the same on Impeller and Skia. This is the only blocker for us to migrate as all the medium text in the app just becomes too bold compared to the design and the Skia version of the app.

Actual results:
All font weights that I've tested with Inter family seems to be more bold on Impeller compared to Skia.
