Description Jens Petersen 2022-09-23 09:00:39 UTC 
Description of problem:
This is an old problem, but qt still seems to prefer to use
monochrome emoji glyphs when available, this contrasts with gtk
which always prefers colored emoji.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All current Fedora versions

Steps to Reproduce:
1. input emoji into kwrite or kontact

Actual results:
Most emoji are rendered monochrome

Expected results:
Colored emoji to be preferred

Additional info:
Even though google-noto-emoji-color-fonts is installed
it seems Qt prefers gdouros-symbola-fonts.

If one removes gdouros-symbola-fonts then Noto Emoji Color is used.

I think this is closely related or maybe even a duplicate of bug 1954359.
As in fixing the emoji font selection would likely fix this bug too.

Closest upstream issue seems https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-85744

It is indeed the same issue and we are aware of it.

Unfortunately we don't have a good solution yet.
