It seems those fonts are indeed buggy: I just installed
NotoSansJavanese-Regular.ttf from
https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-fonts and with it the Javanese
script sample in etc/HELLO displays fine both in Emacs from master built
with cairo and in emacs-27 with xft (and the Javanese script Wikipedia
page also displays fine in Firefox; the googlefonts repository does not
contain NotoSansBalinese-Regular.ttf but instead
NotoSerifBalinese-Regular.ttf, which I also installed and with it the
Balinese characters in the Wikipedia page also display fine).

That would still be good, but if it's not practically feasible, I guess
this bug should just be closed.
