izzy | On Debian? Nope. | 18:01:22 |
Bubu | they seem to have unbundled their outdated copy of emojione(?) recently | 18:01:34 |
Bubu | no, pacman is archlinux | 18:01:50 |
izzy | I'm afraid my distro does not support "colored fonts". I found that Noto font, 3 versions of it. None was accepted. The black-and-white ones had no issues. | 18:02:15 |
izzy | I'm on an LTS, for reasons. And those reasons do not include upgrading to be able to use emojis. Yuck. | 18:02:52 |
Bubu | you might have some luck with looking how the archlinux package does it: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/noto-fonts-emoji | 18:02:59 |
Bubu | https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/66-noto-color-emoji.conf?h=packages/noto-fonts-emoji | 18:03:19 |
izzy | Thanks, I'll take a look. But none of the font viewers I tried where even able to show the font. | 18:03:31 |
Bubu | I'm not sure if that's supposed to work as the emoji font probably doesn't ship with glyphs for the normal alphabet? | 18:04:09 |
izzy | Ugh… well, configuring a font the system cannot even show as a fallback won't help much I'm afraid ;) | 18:04:28 |
Bubu | not sure | 18:04:10 |
Bubu | mmh? | 18:04:56 |
izzy | I've got several working emoji fonts here, but none of them is colored. | 18:04:54 |
Bubu | Okay, I've no idea | 18:05:19 |
izzy | All are b/w | 18:05:18 |
Bubu | I've also heard someone say that only firefox has support for a certain format of colored emojis | 18:05:43 |
Bubu | but fontconfig so far is a bit of a mystery black box for me | 18:06:03 |
izzy | Neither have I. I just find it a crazy move. Apart from the font itself being 10M big. For some emojis. In the browser. | 18:06:07 |
izzy | I just try to find a copy of the two Segue UI they prefer to confirm it's not just that Noto. So far I couldn't find a download source. | 18:07:00 |
Bubu | In reply to @freenode_izzy:matrix.org Neither have I. I just find it a crazy move. Apart from the font itself being 10M big. For some emojis. In the browser. not some, all of them ;-) | 18:07:43 |
Bubu | and tbh, installing them in the system is far superior then downoading them on every-website because they bundle them | 18:08:05 |
izzy | Sure. If the system accepts it. If not, your visitors are screwed. | 18:09:50 |
izzy | Hm, that Segue UI Emoji could work, as it applies the colors separately. Unfortunately, no download source. All say "get it from your Windows machine". | 18:24:51 |
izzy | Probably the same for "Segue UI Symbols". | 18:27:24 |
wb9688 | Segoe UI is Windows stuff indeed | 18:30:15 |
wb9688 | What version of Debian do you use? | 18:30:35 |
izzy | Actually, a derivate of a derivate: Linux Mint 18 (LTS, in support until 2021), a derivate of Ubuntu (crap removed, good stuff added). | 18:57:02 |
izzy | Just found a copy of that Apple Color Emojis, doesn't work with GitLab either :( | 18:57:24 |
Bubu | izzy: do you see color emoji here? https://emojipedia.org/exploding-head/ | 18:58:49 |
izzy | Summa summarum: GitLab switched to proprietary fonts for its open-source community, leaving the FOSS-folk out… </rant> | 18:59:52 |
