I was wrong here. Fedora 27 includes the Emoji One font by default. Although the Fedora package is currently named eosrei-emojione-fonts, the font actually comes straight from Emoji One's github and not from eosrei's github. The font provided by eosrei's github will not work for the GNOME feature and is also not the version of Emoji One recommended by Mozilla. I also found that Ubuntu already packaged fonts-emojione. Like the Fedora package, it simply installs the pre-compiled ttf. To actually build fully from source requires pacakging several node-grunt packages. On the other hand, Emoji Two isn't yet buildable for the GNOME feature. The Fedora developers would like to get this figured out within a year because it's bad to be stuck on an old unmaintained emoji font when new emoji are still being added to the Standard every year. One proposal is for it reuse the nototools build system used by fonts-noto-color-emoji. In that case, we wouldn't need to package the node packages. The Emoji One package in Fedora and Ubuntu doesn't support the Mozilla feature. See https://bugs.debian.org/849602 for more details. So someone is welcome to work on packaging Emoji One while we wait for Emoji Two. If someone wants to work on that, I recommend cloning this bug. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
