Hi, Currently, the “Noto Color Emoji” font works much better than “Emoji One”. “Emoji One” supports emoji only up to Unicode 9.0.0 whereas “Noto Color Emoji” supports the new emoji in Unicode 10.0.0. So at the very least we should install the “google-noto-emoji-color-fonts” package by default so that even when “Emoji One” is preferred in the fontconfig setup, the emoji which are lacking in “Emoji One” are displayed using “Noto Color Emoji” as a fallback instead of displaying replacement boxes. On top of that, “Emoji One” doesn’t display many sequences correctly which were already in Unicode 9.0.0, as one can see in this screenshot: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1331892 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1496761 Bug 1496761 - "Noto Color Emoji" would be a better default emoji font than "Emoji One" So even if “Noto Color Emoji” is installed, many emoji sequences are displayed incorrectly if “Emoji One” is preferred in the fontconfig setup. Therefore, I think it would be nice to make “Noto Color Emoji” the preferred font in our fontconfig setup to make all emoji sequences render correctly. There is a fork of “Emoji One” called “Emoji Two” https://github.com/EmojiTwo/emojitwo https://emojitwo.github.io/ > “Version 2 of the Emojione set is no longer supported by EmojiOne > Inc. (nor Ranks.com). Version 3 has a slightly different design and new, > more restrictive licensing terms. Access to high-resolution bitmaps and > vector sources is now restricted to paying customers. Some people prefer > the flat cartoon design and the FOSS license with actual access to the > SVG sources. Therefore, we created a fork of Emojione version 2.2.7 as > Emojitwo with initial version 2.3. The artwork of this second generation > of the web’s first complete open source emoji set is and will stay 100% > free.” > > [...] > > Plans > > Emojitwo shall eventually include graphics for new emojis: > > • Characters defined in the Unicode Standard 10.0 (June 2017) and later. > • Sequences documented in Unicode Emoji 4.0 (November 2016, UTR#51), > e.g. gender variants. > • Characters extended in Unicode Emoji 5.0 (May 2017) and later (UTS#51), > e.g. flags. > [...] “Noto Color Emoji” already supports all this stuff now and it may take a long time until “Emoji Two” will support this. So I think “Noto Color Emoji” would be a better default for us at the moment. -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@xxxxxxxxxx> 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。 _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
