hi  
in order to see asian characters on websites (im not asian, i just hate those squares) i installed noto-fonts-cjk, but that results in emojis not being displayed (i have noto-fonts-emoji installed) on for example notification popups, so i get those ugly squares there instead.

how can ig et both working?
