The systems I have in mind aren't only Android: Noto Sand Mono is the
default (or only) Monospace font on many GNU/Linux systems as well, and
I've also witnessed DejaVu Sans Mono being installed without an Italic
variant.

It combines a variable pitch face with italic, and so loses when the
italic face doesn't support slant properties, even if the variable pitch
one does.
