Yes, I have checked that again, and the same fonts are used in Word. You can
directly open the same ODT file in Word. As I have also installed LibreOffice
on Windows, it provides the required fonts, "DejaVu Sans" and "Noto Sans
Arabic".

I am not sure if Word uses a fallback font. I tried writing a few Arabic words,
and it uses the same intended fonts. Therefore, I think it Word is not using a
fallback font.

What is your conclusion? An upstream bug from HarfBuzz?
