/etc/fonts/conf.d/21-emoji-rendering.conf makes emoji rendering in Firefox worse

I’ve noticed that emoji look weird in (rpm) Firefox (look at those spooky triangle eyes!). After deleting /etc/fonts/conf.d/21-emoji-rendering.conf, emoji got rendered properly.

Other applications, such as Konsole and Chromium, don’t have this problem.

/etc/fonts/conf.d/21-emoji-rendering.conf says that emoji fonts don’t need hinting. It seems not to be the case.

My fontconfig file in home directory hasn’t specified hinting or hintstyle.

I’ve already filed a bug report on boo.

Have you guys encountered this problem?
