I'm not sure it's the same bug. One issue is _which_ font is displayed for
Emphasis in OP's scenario, and another question is whether the inheritance is
clearly indicated in the UI for choosing the CS font.

While OP's complaint focuses on the lack of indication - which indeed seems
covered bug bug 898559 - he also tells us the font chooser shows Liberation
Serif - which is not what the Emphasis CS inherits from the Default PS.

That bug asks for too little.  The fonts used for previewing a CS should be the
Default PS' fonts.

That's part of the bug here.
