Hi, fonts-symbola is part of the desktop-common seed which means that is installed for every Ubuntu desktop flavor (Lubuntu, Kubuntu, etc.). It looks like the only reason it was added was for basic black & white emoji support.
Ubuntu 18.04 introduces color emoji support which works in most non-browser GTK apps. Ubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, and Ubuntu MATE already include fonts-noto-color-emoji. I'd like to remove fonts-symbola from desktop-common. Can I add fonts-noto-color-emoji to desktop-common?
