User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:82.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/82.0

Steps to reproduce:

View any element that has a default font set (sans-serif, Arial), or none at all with font-style: italic;, or an <em> element.

The parameter names on this MDN page for example reproduces this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Worker/Worker

This is a Canonical Snap build for Ubuntu, Firefox 82, but has existed for at least several versions.

Actual results:

Twemoji Mozilla font is used for italics, resulting in unicode block characters rendered.

Expected results:

An italics version of the text should be rendered.

Lee, is this known to you? I see a lot of italics-related font issues open, some very old.
