I'm not really sure what would we write in PROBLEMS. That some
unnamed characters don't display correctly when HarfBuzz is not
installed, and that if this happens, we suggest to install HarfBuzz
and/or build Emacs with HarfBuzz support? If such a vague entry is
deemed useful, I can write it. But note that build with HarfBuzz is
nowadays the default, so the problem could happen only in rare corner
use cases.
