Hi, Felix. To test again, if things work with less resource usage, use this Wikipedia template: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Emoji_(Unicode_block)
To the best of my knowledge, the address bar and the textarea employ different fonts. The textarea should be easy: You'll have to add the color emoji font name to the comma-separated list of font substitutes in about:config, including at the end of the list in font.name.monospace.x-unicode . The address bar could be dependent on OS-level settings. -M. 18.04.2018 21:54 kirjutas kuupäeval "Felix Fröhlich" < felix.froehl...@convey.de>: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA512 > > Hi everyone, > > I've been trying to work out how to get emoji and other symbols working > in IceCat 52.6.0 on Debian 9 but failed (mostly, see below). > > What I tried is the following: > > * Because I installed IceCat via GNU Guix, I installed some fonts that > are capable of displaying Emoji.
