Sorry for the noise, it is indeed nothign to do with TeX. Like many
fonts, there is no version. At some point I was pruning my source
files (for fonts, that means the TTF or OTF files) and I suppose I
noticed that the DroidSansFallBack.ttf matched the name of a file in
a zip file, so I removed the separate file.
There have been various versions of that file, the one in the zip
file was 2.9 MB, the latest I can find (from Arch linux
droid-fonts-20221017) is 5.2 MB and does include the glyphs.
