Why does the font on MAC OS look more elongated?

Hello! Faced such a problem:
I connected fonts to the site via font-face

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Geometria';
  src: url('../fonts/Geometria-Regular.eot');
  src: url('../fonts/Geometria-Regular.eot?#iefix') format("embedded-opentype"), url('../fonts/Geometria-Regular.woff2') format("woff2"), url('../fonts/Geometria-Regular.woff') format("woff"), url('../fonts/Geometria-Regular.ttf') format("truetype");
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 400; }

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Geometria';
  src: url('../fonts/Geometria-Medium.eot');
  src: url('../fonts/Geometria-Medium.eot?#iefix') format("embedded-opentype"), url('../fonts/Geometria-Medium.woff2') format("woff2"), url('../fonts/Geometria-Medium.woff') format("woff"), url('../fonts/Geometria-Medium.ttf') format("truetype");
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 500; }

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Geometria';
  src: url('../fonts/Geometria-Bold.eot');
  src: url('../fonts/Geometria-Bold.eot?#iefix') format("embedded-opentype"), url('../fonts/Geometria-Bold.woff2') format("woff2"), url('../fonts/Geometria-Bold.woff') format("woff"), url('../fonts/Geometria-Bold.ttf') format("truetype");
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 700; }

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Geometria';
  src: url('../fonts/Geometria-ExtraBold.eot');
  src: url('../fonts/Geometria-ExtraBold.eot?#iefix') format("embedded-opentype"), url('../fonts/Geometria-ExtraBold.woff2') format("woff2"), url('../fonts/Geometria-ExtraBold.woff') format("woff"), url('../fonts/Geometria-ExtraBold.ttf') format("truetype");
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 800; }

On Windows everything looks fine, but on a Mac the font looks more elongated for some reason (especially if the text is
bold ) 12Mlgo0tMVe68m.png

It's not a bug, it's a feature. In different programs (browsers, editors, viewers, etc.) and operating systems, fonts look different.
The Jobs sect of witnesses always claims that Apple has the only kosher font rendering. But it's not. It's just different, and as for me, Apple's fonts render very poorly.
