Instead of downgrading 'harfbuzz' and potentially break other apps, you could try 'libreoffice-fresh' - at least it's working fine here...

Your problem is not harfbuzz, it's using an unsupported freetype.

The problem was with the libfreetype.so.6 library in the Azul Zulu 8u332 openjdk build. In latest build 8u345 the problem is gone.
