Bug Description

On Yakkety, installing the fonts-emojione package breaks fonts in Chromium. Removing /etc/fonts/conf.d/56-emojione.conf then running fc-cache -fv fixes the issue. Chromium may be attempting to use the emojione font set to display all characters rather than just the ones it provides.

Still a problem in artful release.

Might be specific issue with certain fonts. I have seen it on certain websites, but not all.

Here's an AskUbuntu post about it:

Both solutions work.
