That's what I thought, thanks. So these circles are a deficiency of
FLT shaping.

It's supposed to, but, disappointedly,
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2019-06/msg00124.html
remains without a response, and therefore only the Windows build
currently prefers HarfBuzz. I still hope Yamamoto-san will respond
and describe his proposal, and we could then implement the same
behavior on all platforms.
