Hi David,

As Mart wrote in his reply, my initial issue has been resolved.

Can you reproduce this issue in the upstream Firefox ESR version? Once you have verified that you'll be able to let us know if this is a bug in IceCat or not. Can you please do that to help us?


I'm not sure, though, if creating a bug report for this would be
appropriate, as IIRC emoji have been a problem in terms of displaying
them ever since I installed IceCat (both the downloads from
gnu.org/s/gnuzilla and Guix).

Working around the issue at hand is quite easy once you're aware of the
about:config options and are not afraid to use it. For me, it wasn't a
problem once I got the know-how from Mart, but it may confuse "normal"
users who most likely expect emoji to work out-of-the-box.

However, that's just my two cents, so feel free to ignore it.

Felix,
There are additional font size settings in about:config, if you
search
there just with 'font'.

The about:config solution is one, though in some operating systems,
browsers typically default to the closest possible match, if they
rely
on the OS to match missing characters, thus precluding the trip to
about:config.

wrt font size, can you send a screenshot of what the Noto emoji
look
like for you with text?
For example, both in a plain Wikipedia article, and in a textarea
(editing an article).

wrt to replies, then I originally sent a reply both to bug-
gnuzilla,
and a carbon copy to you. On assumption, that you've subscribed
anyway, then I won't :cc you.

-M.

Whoops. Apparently that email didn't include the previous reply I
sent
to Mart. Here you go:

      Hi Mart,

      Great! Thanks for the advice.

      I added the Noto Color Emoji font to the following
about:config
      settings:

       * font.name.monospace.x-unicode
       * font.name.sans-serif.x-unicode
       * font.name.serif.x-unicode

      Now the Emoji actually do show up. They're way too big,
though ^^

      I'll play around with the font settings and see if I can
manage
      this; Maybe I'll have to use a different font.

Hi all,

So, erm, that was... not optimal. I wrote the mail to Mart and
bug-
gnuz
address@hidden because for some reason I believed that was
the
correct email address... Please don't ask me why.

Anyhow, with Mart's help I figured out how to display the emoji
(see
below).

I also found out that -- for some reason I don't know -- the
Noto
Color
Emoji font on my system appears to be corrupted, as the font
shows up
as what looks like a rounded square in gnome-font-viewer (see
attachment). Not sure what causes this, but I fell back to the
uncoloured version of that font, namely Noto Emoji. It's no big
deal,
really.

Now all emoji that I wanted to display show up just fine.

Thanks again for your help, Mart!
