Oh, that is probably right. I was focusing on the reported issue of OP and
pared it down to a nice simple reproducer. However, the DejaVu would have
composite font family that might have issues mapping the Oblique/Oblique Bold.
Becomes obvious if I use the Character... dialog to make the font changes
rather than the TB.
So is it a Harfbuzz font mishandling, or a Skia rendering issue?
