Harfbuzz is used internally by Libass to display subtitles in special
fonts. It is not required, and if the current version is giving you
trouble, I suggest disabling it.

If you are building Bino using MXE, you can change the line
'--enable-harfbuzz' in src/libass.mk to '--disable-harfbuzz' and then
rebuild Libass with 'make libass'.

When you then rebuild Bino, it should not contain Harfbuzz anymore.
