They are controlled mainly using hb_font_set_scale().

FreeType works in 26.6 fixed-point, ie. 64 units per 1.0.  That's where the
64 value comes from.  And you don't see it in your code because
hb_ft_font_create* sets that on hb_font for you.

In your Windows code, you should call hb_font_set_scale().  I believe right
now you are *not* calling, and you get values in the face's UPEM.  That's
the default scale for fonts.  You can get the face UPEM using
hb_face_get_upem().
