How about adding that: the font-backend frame parameter should tell
you if HarfBuzz is available.

My point was to help the user in this matter, by using this only if
available.

Perhaps when HarfBuzz is being used, it should be the default? I
don't use Gnus, but maybe such a new default will make sense to Gnus
users?
