On Linux ask for a different font about emojione-color-font

[hadess]

The new fontconfig 2.12.5 includes rules to mark "Emoji One" (and a number of other freely available emoji fonts) as an emoji font. If pango is in the stack (for GTK+ applications for example), an "emoji" font will automatically be selected for emoji codepoints.

The fonts.conf should probably not be installed with this version of fontconfig.

I'm not sure how this would be better implemented in the installer. I provide a package, an installer, and just the bare font. I cannot support custom installs though.

The fontconfig file contain Bitstream hardcoded maybe the installer can ask for a different font to use it on it :-)

@hadess Just to make sure that I understand you correctly. This means that fontconfig will now automatically use emojies from "Emoji One" for all; even if they also exist in "DejaVu" for instance?

I'm not sure whether DejaVu has any emojis in its font, but that's what would happen if it did.

DejaVu has many characters considered emoji.

Closing issue, I'm looking into some ideas for solutions to this question, but it will not be addressed in this project. Switch to: https://github.com/eosrei/twemoji-color-font
