There were a few responses on the ubuntu-release mailing list. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu- release/2018-February/004283.html It looks like we're going to drop fonts-symbola from desktop-common. Flavors are free to install fonts-noto-color-emoji themselves if they like since Kubuntu objects to it being in desktop-common. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1746310 Title: Drop fonts-symbola from platform?

> Gunnar, Kubuntu and Lubuntu Next are free to install fonts-symbola if they want. (But they should really talk to Qt about getting color emoji support working everywhere too!) I don't think that's the point; if we're talking about inclusion in desktop-common, support for Qt *and* GTK needs to be there. Favoring the package that works with GTK apps and not Qt apps, then saying that the Qt flavors can install fonts-symbola if they want, makes me want to say the same to the GTK flavors about fonts-noto-color-emoji. > The benefit of installing Noto Color Emoji by default is so that color emoji will work out of the box with any GTK+ app (with a few exceptions like Chromium, Firefox and LibreOffice). Color Emoji is advertised as an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS feature. What about desktops that don't install GTK apps by default (Lubuntu Next)? I echo my comment above that it should be all or nothing here. > The benefit of not installing Symbola by default is that it's unneeded.

[Bug 1746310] Re: Drop fonts-symbola from platform?
I'm on a slippery slope here; should probably have kept quiet. But it was your mentioning of qt which triggered me to post a couple of comments, since people tend to use some qt apps also in Ubuntu.

[Bug 1746310] Re: Drop fonts-symbola from platform?
Gunnar, could you test the apps before saying we need Symbola? Firefox, Chromium, and LibreOffice don't need Symbola. Firefox uses an embedded version of EmojiOne currently. Chromium will probably eventually support Noto.

Also Ubuntu users install qt apps, don't they? And FF and LO are important exceptions. The archive size of fonts-symbola is 1.2 MiB.

[Bug 1746310] Re: Drop fonts-symbola from platform?
If qt does not support fonts-noto-color-emoji, replacing would be a regression, especially for Kubuntu, and may not be a good idea. I understand that the packages don't conflict to each other. What's the drawback with keeping it as is for now, and install both packages in Ubuntu? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1746310 Title: Drop fonts-symbola from platform?

[Bug 1746310] Re: Drop fonts-symbola from platform?
** Description changed: ttf-ancient-fonts-symbola is a recommends in platform.bionic desktop- common so it's installed for every Ubuntu desktop flavor (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu, etc.). It's a transitional package now depending on fonts-symbola. The package description is "This package includes the Symbola font, which contains special symbols and emoji characters which are encoded in the Unicode Standard 9.0." It was added to the seeds in LP: #1137630 explicitly for emoji support. Ubuntu Desktop (and Ubuntu Budgie and Ubuntu MATE) now include fonts- noto-color-emoji for this instead. GTK+ in Ubuntu 18.04 supports color emoji. Qt does not. fonts-symbola has installed-size 3,178 kB according to apt fonts-noto-color-emoji has installed-size 7,277 kB Should we replace fonts-symbola with fonts-noto-color-emoji? Or should we drop it entirely? The only other Color Emoji font I expect to be available in Ubuntu soon is EmojiTwo. EmojiTwo lags behind in supporting the latest emoji standards. + + Screenshots of Noto Color Emoji and EmojiTwo are at + https://community.ubuntu.com/t/try-color-emoji-in-18-04/1492 + + ubuntu-release list proposal: + https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2018-February/004276.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1746310 Title: Drop fonts-symbola from platform?
