QML - size limit for Courier font family

I'm playing with font size in Text/TextInput/TextField in QML.

For Text with font.family: "MS Shell Dlg 2" everything works as expected. The funny thing happens when I try to use "Courier" family (I want monospace font): not every font size is shown and for font.pointSize > ~20 displayed text stops growing. I tried to use font.pixelSize but effect is exactly the same.

Is it normal behavior for Courier font in QML?

Below is Text element used to test the behavior:

     Text {
        id: element
        x: 10
        y: 10
        text: qsTr("FF")
        font.pointSize: 40
        font.family: "Courier" //if "MS Shell Dlg 2" used everything is ok
    }


Edit:
Font size works fine for "Courier New" family... While my immediate problem is solved, I'd really like to understand what's happening for "Courier" family.

Edit 2:
From discussion below seems like it's problem specific to my machine as other people say it works for them...

Edit 3:
My environment: Qt 5.14.2 on Windows 10 machine. I'm using QtCreator 4.11.2 and mingw 64bit compiler.

Maybe due to some container for your Text element?

This code is working for example:

import QtQuick 2.9
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtQuick.Controls 2.2

ApplicationWindow {
    id: mainWindow
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480

    Row {
        id: buttonRow
        spacing: 5
        anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
        anchors.left: parent.left
        width: parent.width

        Text {
            id: element
            x: 10
            y: 10
            text: qsTr("FF")
            font.pointSize: 140
            font.family: "Courier"
        }

        Button {
            id: button1
            text: "Click me"
            anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
            onClicked: {
                element.font.pointSize = element.font.pointSize + 10;
            }
        }
    }
}
