Roboto_regular is not the same as Roboto

What happened?

Expected vs actual result:

Letters are rendered correctly whether the Roboto font is loaded through google_fonts or not.

Steps to reproduce:

See attached code. The text is rendered perfectly fine as long as you don't load the Google Font. Once loaded, the "Roboto_regular' text breaks. Is the 'regular' variant of Roboto not the default one ?

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:google_fonts/google_fonts.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MaterialApp(
    home: MyHomePage(),
  ));
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage({super.key});

  @override
  State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {

  void loadGoodleFont() {
    GoogleFonts.getFont('Roboto');
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Test'),
        actions: [
          IconButton(
            onPressed: loadGoodleFont,
            icon: const Icon(Icons.refresh,),
          ),
        ],
      ),
      body: Column(
        children: const [
          Text(
            'S̴i̴L̴e̶N̷c̴E̷.̷ ̴',
            style: TextStyle(fontFamily: 'Roboto'),
          ),
          Text(
            'S̴i̴L̴e̶N̷c̴E̷.̷ ̴',
            style: TextStyle(fontFamily: 'Roboto_regular'),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }
}

I'm unable to reproduce, this is a screenshot showing before/after pressing the icon button

Can you please provide more info?

[TheCarpetMerchant]

I've had the problem on Android and Windows, I don't own any Apple devices. So this might not be an issue on those platforms ? Here's what I get after clicking the button :

[guidezpl]

Can you provide Android and Windows versions?

[TheCarpetMerchant]

Everything is still the same as in the OP, except I'm now on Flutter 3.7.10.

[guidezpl]

I was unable to repro on Windows (Windows native and Chrome). Have you followed https://docs.flutter.dev/data-and-backend/networking?

[TheCarpetMerchant]

The page you're linking does not mention anything about either Chrome or Windows. I have the issue on both Windows & Android, and the Android app does have the necessary permissions.
