Bitstream Vera doesn't contain regional accented characters

Firefox should fall back to DejaVu, it's still available and provides the glyphs/characters you need.

$ fc-match -s sans | head -n3
Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman"
EmojiOneColor-SVGinOT.ttf: "Emoji One Color" "Regular"
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"

The enabled fontconfig settings are smlinked in /etc/fonts/conf.d/. Install.sh creates a file named 56-emojione-color.conf available here: https://github.com/eosrei/emojione-color-font/blob/d1c607bc442b6bb3d9536c0b38f9befb396a3573/linux/fontconfig/56-emojione-color.conf

Can you link/screenshot an example of where the incorrect font is loading?

BTW The only for sure solution to all of this is to manually subset DejaVu using nototools to remove all of the emoji characters.

This may be a XFCE specific issue. I'm running MATE and have no issue with fall back (Bitstream Vera -> EmojiOne Color -> DejaVu Sans) to load combining diacritical marks.

Have you tried the known issue workaround?

Open about:config set gfx.font_rendering.fontconfig.fontlist.enabled to false

I'm closing this due to lack of response and that AFAIK the solution is already listed in the readme.
