Public bug reported:
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.
