[Bug 1110412] New: Color Emoji support is disabled by Noto Emoji (monochrome) and DejaVu fonts
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1110412 Bug ID: 1110412 Summary: Color Emoji support is disabled by Noto Emoji (monochrome) and DejaVu fonts Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Usability Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: i@guoyunhe.me QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Most KDE5/Qt5 application now support color emoji fonts. Noto Color Emoji (noto-coloremoji-fonts) is installed by default but won't take effects. The reason is that Noto Emoji (noto-emoji-fonts, a monochrome emoji font) is installed by default, too and has a higher priority. Test A: 1. Make sure you installed both noto-coloremoji-fonts and noto-emoji-fonts. 2. Start Chromium or Falkon. (Firefox doesn't support Noto Color Emoji and has its own built in EmojiOne Mozilla font) 3. Visit https://getemoji.com/ to check emojis. Result: most emojis are monochrome (using noto-emoji-fonts) Test B: 1. Make sure you installed noto-coloremoji-fonts and uninstalled noto-emoji-fonts. 2. Start Chromium or Falkon. (Firefox doesn't support Noto Color Emoji and has its own built in EmojiOne Mozilla font) 3. Visit https://getemoji.com/ to check emojis. Result: most emojis are colorful (using noto-coloremoji-fonts) DejaVu fonts also provide many monochrome symbols and have a higher priority than emoji fonts. Several years ago, when color fonts are not widely supported, having a monochrome emoji font is safe. But now, most browsers and messaging applications support color emoji fonts. Maybe it is time to drop noto-emoji-fonts and dejavu-fonts from default system installation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

From GitHub https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-emoji#bw-emoji-font
"The black-and-white emoji font is not under active development. Its repertoire of emoji is now several years old, and the design does not reflect the current color emoji design. Currently we have no plans to update this font." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

In Unicode 12, here is a emoji variation sequence feature, which aims to solve the issue. So we don't need to do anything with DejaVu itself. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
