The issue seem to appear when multiple fonts can provide the emojis. What seems to me is that the noto-color-emojis are not necessarily the first in the list. I had for exaple other font-noto packages and they were hiding the color emojis. I removed all the others and now I can see the color ones again.
The fact that user fonts have priority over system fonts is the reason for why the previous workaround works. However, in order to fix this bug, we need to think first, what should be fixed? Option 1: the issue is just that the user is unaware -> keep the current behaviour and eventually find a way to inform the user of what font has the highest priority to provide emojis, possibly at install time. (This should be possible, given that Chrome does this) Option 2: the issue is the mechanism -> we could have some configuration for a default emoji-provider, and have it handled with update- alternatives, the same way one can set the vanilla or ubuntu or pop gdm theme. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1859926 Title: fonts-noto-color-emoji not making pretty emojis in google chrome To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-noto-color-emoji/+bug/1859926/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
