I've just been reading through the code used to build the bin/fc- cache-v6 and bin/fc-cache-v7 binaries in the core snap:
https://github.com/snapcore/fc-cache-static-builder I think I understand what the problem is: while it is rebuilding copies of xenial's and bionic's fontconfig tools that statically link to libfontconfig, it's using the xenial version of libfreetype2 for both. I suspect that this old freetype version does not understand all the features of the font (e.g. the scalable colour emoji), so the generated cache also misses them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1858636 Title: snapd generates incomplete fontconfig caches, result in emoji rendering issue in chromium To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1858636/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
