Okay, I'll try:

-   To downgrade harfbuzz and/or freetype2 if the Cygwin package
database allows to do so;

-   Remove the resp. devel packages and try to rebuild Pillow without them.

However, I most probably won't be able to do so before Thursday.

If possible I'll try also to upgrade to your new versions (on Thursday).

Notice that my problem lasts since (at least) August 2021.

Best,
Friedrich
