Yes, we designed and implemented it: http://google-opensource.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/open-standard-color-font-fun-for.html I also have a proof-of-concept patch to cairo that would make the color work, but it's not ready for upstream and no other cairo hacker showed interest in finishing it. I may check that out again.

The SVG proposal is not implemented in FreeType. That's part of my things to do, but has not been high priority. That said, I've also built a bitmap version of the Phantom set that is available here: https://code.google.com/p/color-emoji/ On 14-01-05 04:20 AM, Nicolas Mailhot wrote:> Hi, > > The vector version is probably more generally useful, most apps would not > know what to do with the other one today (and printing would be a mess). > Though I suppose both could be packaged. I fixed cairo and fontconfig to automatically scale the bitmaps, so to most apps they are just like other fonts. -- behdad http://behdad.org/ _______________________________________________ fonts mailing list fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
