Alternatively, I expect you can use applications that use HarfBuzz
regardless of the host.  I believe that now includes LibreOffice and
Firefox, though on Linux LibreOffice is liable to use the system's
sharable object, which you might have to update yourself.  I didn't
have a suitable font to check them out on my system.
