Answer 1

AlexB's answer is correct, and has cost me too long struggling why it didn't work.

For those wondering why their Roboto-Light font looks like Roboto-Bold, heres how to fix it:

FontLoader
{
   id: robotoLight
   source: "../fonts/Roboto/Roboto-Light.ttf"
}

Text
{
   text: "This text is Roboto-Light"
   font.family: robotoLight.name
   font.weight: Font.Light   // this is necessary or else it'll look like Roboto-Bold
}
