I should be a little more explicit with my diagnosis:

In this specific example, using "\time 3/4", one of the feta-alphabet
Type 1 fonts should be loaded.

But, based on your output, the "CharisSIL" font is loaded, which is
not expected.

The numeric glyphs are loaded with Pango via Fontconfig, so maybe
there might be a problem with one of these two dependencies on your
system.
