Summary: Some emoji faces have high baselines or large shadows

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open TextEdit and open a new document.
2. Type Option-Command-T to bring up Special Characters.
3. Go to the Emoji sidebar pane.
4. Double click on every yellow-style face in turn to type it into the document. I started at SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES and ended at EXPRESSIONLESS FACE.
5. Select all.
6. press Command-equals to increase the font size. I went up to about 104 pt for the attached illustration.

Expected Results:
All the faces sit exactly the same on the baseline, and all have the same style shadow.

Actual Results:
13 faces sit high on the baseline. 8 faces have a heaver drop shadow than the rest.
Additionally, the purple frowning IMP face has a lighter shade of purple (especially in the region of the head gloss gradient) than its SMILING FACE WITH HORNS counterpart.

Regression:
unknown

Notes:
This is visible at the default 12pt font size, but I enlarged the text to magnify the effect.
