The default value of that variable was recently changed to t on Windows:


 commit f34f49f35e5c000a6ee070678f43d2ca38b76cad

     Set inhibit-compacting-font-caches to t by default on MS-Windows

     * src/font.c (syms_of_font) [WINDOWSNT]: Set
     inhibit-compacting-font-caches to t by default.

     * etc/NEWS: Mention the change


so it'll be on Emacs 27.1.

I'm closing this bug.

Thanks,
