I tested Overpass on Windows 7 today and found different issues.
Perhaps on the different OSs different font meta data is used resulting in
different issues.
I am guessing that if the fonts had all the meta data filled-in

My findings today:

Overpass
--------
Thin and ExtraLight - wrong screen display and print output. 
Export to PDF is correct.

There is an error in the SemiBold regular font file – it has the font family
set to Overpass Light.
After fixing this file the Overpass SemiBold regular displays correctly.

Overpass Mono
-------------
There is an error in the OverpassMono SemiBold font file – it has the font
family set to Overpass Mono Light.
After fixing this file the OverpassMono SemiBold displays correctly.



Since you did not have these errors, but different errors,
I am wondering what font info is read by default, 
and then by fallback if missing, in each OS.
And if this may be one source of issues.


p.s. doing Fira Sans tomorrow ...
