On another machine with Harfbuzz, and using M-x describe-char on the
first T in the scratch buffer:

A. With Harfbuzz but without cairo using "./configure --without-cairo <RET>"

xfthb:-unknown-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-15-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 
(#x37)

This gives me the "without-cairo.png".

B. With Harfbuzz and cairo, using "./configure <RET>"

ftcrhb:-unknown-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-15-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 
(#x37)

This gives me the "with-cairo.png".

Best wishes,

Colin.
