Hello!

When using Google's "Noto Mono" font, some buffers grind to a halt, with
user input being registered with roughly a one-second delay. Trying to
do more, will make Emacs entirely unresponsive to user-input leaving
only killing the process through the task manager (Windows 10,
tasgmgr.exe or 'taskkill /F /IM emacs.exe').

To avoid interaction with other customizations I tried it with
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-25.1-x86_64-w64-mingw32.zip
starting emacs as 'runemacs -Q' and observed the same behavior.

The issue is dodgy though. The only case where I could consistently
reproduce it, was `package-list-packages' (using ELPA only). When saving
the buffer contents as a text file and opening it, the issue did *not*
occur.

Outside of Emacs I haven't yet observed issues with the Noto fonts.

The user-side fix (using another font) is easy, but the font being the blame
was rather unexpected.

regards, Klaus
