I=E2=80=99d like to start a discussion about extending the FreeType CI pipel=
ine to include Windows on ARM (ARM64) support. I wanted to ask whether setti=
ng up a self-hosted Windows on ARM runner would make sense for more comprehe=

Adding Windows on ARM coverage in CI would help ensure consistent build and t=
est validation on this platform. I=E2=80=99d be happy to help contribute con=
figuration changes if this direction seems reasonable.</div>
