You can't. In order to be able to do that, someone will have to
implement the font-related APIs we use with others.
And I'm not yet sure the GDI APIs we use are relevant (but then I
didn't yet have time to read the discussion you point to, so maybe my
current opinion isn't worth much). We had a similar issue with
another font (Noto Sans?), so it could be these fonts use some
features of the metrics that we disregard or something.
Unfortunately, we don't have font experts on board.
