Why are FileMaker fonts so bad compared to other programs??

I design application UIs in programs like Sketch & Figma.  When they get built in FileMaker, the fonts look terrible.  Here's an example of Georgia Regular  24pt.  attached as a screen shot.  It's a bit easier to see if you actually open the attached image...The FileMaker font is in the middle. Notice how much heavier the characters are. They look so blunt compared to the same font in other programs. Does FileMaker use some antiquated rendering engine or something? I'm sure someone in the FM community must know something about fonts... Thanks.
