--- Comment #6 from Nicolas Mailhot <[email protected]> ---
Xft is legacy, TCL/TK can't expect it to integrate new features forever

And color emogis are a new feature (basically a completely new font format,
that exercises the exact limits that caused Xft maintainers to deprecate it in
favour of fontconfig)

The fix can only be TCL/TK side, their upstream needs to finish the transition
from X core fonts and Xft to client-side fonts (fontconfig+harfbuzz-ng), like
other toolkits did long ago. It will also fix lots of other TCL/TK text
problems

In the meanwhile using TCL/TK will force you to keep your system in a legacy
state without new font features like color emogis.
