w32hb_get_font returns a non-zero pointer.
hb_font_get_nominal_glyph returns 0.
So w32hb_encode_char returns FONT_INVALID_CODE (#xFFFFFFFF).
I don't have source step for hb_font_get_nominal_glyph; apparently
that's in the mingw64 harfbuzz library.

The files are mostly from Dec 2018. 'find . -name "*harfbuzz*"' finds
several files, including
./var/lib/pacman/local/mingw-w64-x86_64-harfbuzz-1.7.5-2
which seems to say I've got harfbuzz 1.7.5.

I just realized there are old copies of emacs-<version>.exe in
emacs/src; very nice! However, they are not compatible with the current
*.elc, so not fully functional.
The executable that gives good fonts:
M-x version says it was built on 2019-05-23
M-x report-emacs-bug says:
Repository revision: 5424436452bc0b3d8a62a8398f92d0c2db81e22b
The first executable that fails is:
Repository revision: d590b27ee4c43ba000172b4ad15762863d78aba1
So the commit that caused this problem is somewhere between those two. I
can bisect, if needed.
