Description of problem: I cannot see any emojis in e.g. gnome-characters or hexchat if I turn font hinting off Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedora 28 gnome-characters-3.28.2-1.fc28.x86_64 fontconfig-2.13.0-4.fc28.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a .config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with hinting false <?xml version='1.0'?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'> <fontconfig> <match> <edit mode="assign" name="hinting"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> 2. Logout & log back in 3. Open gnome-characters Actual results: no emojis are visible in most applications Expected results: emojis are visible in all applications Additional info: idk what component to choose. I love emojis, thank you for making them a priority.
Hi, I'm sorry for late answer. Do you still see the issue? I've tried to reproduce it on Fedora 28 but with no success. I also don't see it on Fedora 29 if I set hinting to none in gnome-tweaks.
Hi, yes I still see it. I made a mistake in my original report because it seems it is not just hinting off but the combination of hinting off + antialias on in my fontconfig file that causes the issue: <?xml version='1.0'?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'> <fontconfig> <match> <edit mode="assign" name="hinting"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="antialias"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> I do not use gnome DE, so I am not sure how gnome-tweaks and this fontconfig file interact. Trying gnome, I deleted my fontconfig and used gnome-tweaks to set hinting off + antialiasing on (subpixel) and emojis show in gnome-characters as expected, but if I use the above fontconfig then emojis do not show no matter the setting in gnome-tweaks or what DE I am using.
Thank you for the answer. I still can not reproduce the issue. Maybe it is font related. Could you attach here list of fonts installed in your system (e.g. "rpm -qa | grep fonts")? It could be useful to see content of your "/etc/fonts/conf.d/" too ("ls /etc/fonts/conf.d/"). What is your locale ("locale")? Which version of freetype do you have?

Created attachment 1520090 [details] screenshot of gnome-characters with my .config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
Unable to reproduce above issue with Fedora 30 . followed below steps 1. Have created .config/fontconfig/fonts.conf <?xml version='1.0'?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'> <fontconfig> <match> <edit mode="assign" name="hinting"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="antialias"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> 2. log out and logback 3. opened gnome-characters emojis rendered properly, and if I added above <match> content in /etc/fonts/fonts.config emoji rendered without colors
gnome-characters-3.32.0-2.fc30.x86_64 fontconfig-2.13.1-6.fc30.x86_64
I cannot reproduce this on F32. [mfabian@localhost ~]$ cat .config/fontconfig/fonts.conf <?xml version='1.0'?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'> <fontconfig> <match> <edit mode="assign" name="hinting"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> <edit mode="assign" name="antialias"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> [mfabian@localhost ~]$ gnome-characters, emoji-picker, and gedit all display the emoji correctly and in colour.
Closing as NEXTRELEASE as it works for me in F32.
I can reproduce this one F34 <match target="font"> <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit name="hinting" mode="assign"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle"> <const>hintnone</const> </edit> </match>
