Going a bit beyond this for more context: $ apt-file search /usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/ | wc -l 2380 (So my 1847 is about three-fourths of the total, assuming no collisions. I did also verify that every item in this count is named as being a TTF file.) $ apt-file search /usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/ | cut -d ':' -f 1 | uniq fonts-noto-color-emoji fonts-noto-core fonts-noto-extra fonts-noto-mono fonts-noto-ui-core fonts-noto-ui-extra Per the above, I have four of those installed: core, extra, mono, and ui-core. By contrast, you appear to have only one installed: color-emoji, which (according to 'apt-file show') appears to contain only one font file - the one you reported from fc-list, above. In my case, I got tired of seeing the "tofu" (without, I think, ever learning that term), and went out of my way to install fonts to provide as much coverage as I could manage. I appear to have missed one or two, but I haven't seen any missing glyphs in rather a while. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
