Hi Matt,

As for the Noto Emoji font, everything's a-okay. They show up in the
size of the surrounding text, and even though they're not coloured
(because they're not coloured in the font, either), they work just as
you'd expect emoji to work.

When using the Noto Color Emoji font, however, it produces results as
shown in the pictures attached. As you may notice, they are WAY
oversized for the area they're supposed to be displayed in. The first
attachment (emoji-regular.png) shows the emoji as they show up on
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Emoji_(Unicode_block). The
second one (emoji-textarea.png) shows the emoji when used in a text
area. The emoji was pasted in line 7 as last character on the line.

As I said, though, I am pretty sure the oversized display is due to my
installation of the font (or the font in general?) being corrupted or
unusable, not a bug in IceCat.

With regard to the replies: Yes, I am subscribed to the list, so
there's no need to CC me :)
