Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to Settings → Appearance → Font size → Use a system font.
  2. Enable Use a system font and set it to a custom font. (In my case, Lucida Sans Unicode.)
  3. Send or receives an emoji in any chat room.

Outcome

What did you expect?

Either:

  1. The custom font shouldn't apply to emojis.
  2. There should be a separate custom font field for emojis. This would be nice for users that want to use an alternative emoji set like OpenMoji.

What happened instead?

Emojis no longer use Twemoji, but rather the custom font, so Lucida Sans Unicode in my case, and just looks really shoddy. ^-^'
