Hello Matthias,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with italic font in
Thunderbird. You made this bug report in 2016 and there have been several
versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.
Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the
ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to
this bug?
If you are, could you run the following (only once):

Title:
Default font isn't being loaded from correct directory
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
On a new Ubuntu 15.10 installation Thunderbird doesn't display parts
of html mails written in italic.
The reason is that the italic typeface for the default font 'sans-
serif' which is 'DejaVu Sans' is not being loaded from
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/ but instead searched in
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/. To load the font in Thunderbird
one needs to install the ttf-dejavu-extra package which creates the
directory /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/ containing links to
the font files in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/.
To solve this the paths in Thunderbird should be updated. Otherwise
the package ttf-dejavu-extra could be added as a dependency.
