How do I understand this, considering the above discussion?

This is the very same font, but in GIMP (with all its font limitations), though here inserting the fraction slash (U+2044) changes the rendering of the fraction to an actual fraction.

Method:

1. In FGU, type the number, and insert a proper fraction slash (U+2044) by copy-pasting after the numerator, follow by typing the denominator.
2. Repeat the same thing over the screenshot in GIMP.

As displayed in the screenshot, the font is Noto Sans Medium, the same one used by FGU (as far as I can tell; it is not the regular font weight used in this window; that was too skinny).

Because Gimp is using a ligature to combine the 3 characters into one (or 3 different characters using super and sub scripts) and FG doesn't have the ability to do that.
