Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Emoji in IceCat

[Mart Rootamm]

Felix,
see if you can test Twemoji Mozilla in place of Noto Color Emoji.

The latest Twemoji Mozilla is available here:
https://github.com/mozilla/twemoji-colr/releases

Since EmojiOne changed their license to a non-free one for EmojiOne
3.0, then Mozilla recently moved to use the Twemoji Mozilla font.
Relevant discussion here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1358240

Where applicable, then in IceCat's about:config, temporarily replace
Noto with Twemoji, and it would be great to hear back from you,
especially with screenshots.

-M.
