--- Comment #16 from Jeremy Bicha <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Bastien Nocera from comment #15) > We know all this, but decided that it was the best solution for this purpose > already. There should be discussions about this on the Fedora Workstation > list, as well as in the GNOME bugzilla and/or wiki. If in doubt about any of > those, I'd be happy repeating those arguments on the fontconfig list, if you > send an email there and CC: me. 1. I don't think you've had these conversations as broadly as you remember. a. https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/Emoji says nothing about preferring a particular emoji font. b. You shut this thread down immediately: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/3IS6VEB53SJSQCY5W223LR2K7ZJ4AH3T/#3IS6VEB53SJSQCY5W223LR2K7ZJ4AH3T c. I haven't been able to find any fontconfig list discussion of this issue. d. This bug has been closed without hardly any discussion, and they were closed by a fix that appears to me to be side-stepping the actual bug report and title. e. There was an October 23 Fedora Workstation meeting. Based on my reading of the logs, I think it's fair to say that if it wasn't for your opinion, the team would have decided the other direction (Noto instead of EmojiOne). 2. As far as Fedora 27 goes, it looks like the Emoji One decision is final. Ok. I understand freezes and Fedora is welcome to make its own decisions. 3. Here are my objections: a. You have said repeatedly (in the fontconfig commit and the October 23 meeting) that Emoji One/Two is GNOME's preferred emoji font. b. EmojiTwo in its current form is unpackagable. Comment #14 here gives hope, but currently that is vaporware. Therefore, I expect many GNOME distros to be choosing Noto Color Emoji and so I object to the characterization that this is GNOME's decision because I believe you didn't actually talk to other GNOME distros about this. To summarize your position since you didn't mention it here: You don't want to use the same emoji as Android because you see the emoji choice as a brand recognition opportunity. I'm not sure our users will see it the same way. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
