Research direction
Start by reviewing the hvgl table reference in the issue and the linked FreeType and Chromium issues, since the format has no official documentation. Determine the outline data and the fontations entry point that should support it; done means hvgl outlines can be read and written correctly, with coverage verified by tests.
