ProfileView (Cairo? Gtk4?) started using some odd font, but why?

I found the culprit.

For some reason, Gtk4.jl v0.7.2 is installed, as opposed to the newest v0.7.4. Pkg.status() says that it can be upgraded, but Pkg.upgrade() doesn’t do anything with it. If I manually set its version to v0.7.4, however, it is able to install it:

(@v1.11) pkg> st --outdated -m

And if I load ProfileView after this, the texts display correctly!

Now I don’t know why Pango_jll.jl prohibits the use of the newest version of Gtk4.jl. Here is what Pkg.why() says, although this doesn’t really help:

pkg> why Pango_jll
  Gtk4 → Cairo → Pango_jll
  Gtk4 → GTK4_jll → Pango_jll
  Gtk4 → Librsvg_jll → Pango_jll

Update: Just for reference, here’s the screenshot of the same profiling output, with correctly displayed font:
