Sorry .. I have been out on vacation .. and before that over-looked this
email anyway.
I do not have a workaround here.
I had supposed the emoji fonts provide the colour image as an
alternative that some
APIs understand and that any code asking directly for a normal glyph
image would get it
but I'd have to investigate what is happening in JDK code and how this
can be resolved.
Perhaps the emoji can be co-erced into being an ImageGraphicAttribute and we
can use TextLayout to handle it but I suspect there'll be snags ..
Obviously the crash needs to be looked at .. surprised no one has
reported that before.

One further question.
On the Mac, some characters are given a default emoji
presentation, and appear with a colored image. This is done by
substituting the glyph from the Apple Color Emoji.
With drawString(), when I try to draw a character in (say) Symbola
that by default on the Mac is emoji, the font says
.canDisplay(...) is true, but I get no image, just blank. It's
like drawing a space.
If I try to draw /any/ character in Apple Color Emoji, I get a
blank as well.
Is there any way to work around this, and use the Apple Color Emoji?
Note: I tried using a JTextArea to work around this. When I
changed the existing TextAreaDemo.java to add the following 2
lines, it crashed!
textArea.setFont(*new* Font("Apple Color Emoji", 0, 18));
textArea.setText("abc👷def");
Same happens if the setText line is omitted, and if you simply
paste in an emoji character into the running program.
