Another possible approach to globally support emojis, is using fontconfig with a patched cairo. Google developer @behdad put in some great legwork with that . Details here:
https://github.com/googlei18n/noto- emoji/issues/36#issuecomment-168209204 I think what's needed is to assess whether the patch works, is viable to be part of ubuntu cairo binaries (or maybe kicked up to the source maintainers), makes sense as the approach to use, etc.. Count me in as another user looking forward to using emojis on my terminal, text editors, etc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1137630 Title: Emojis are not shown in ubuntu applications (and phone) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-ancient-fonts/+bug/1137630/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
