It seems that in Linux you need to use a particular font (e.g. noto-emoji) to be able to get emojis rendered. Why is it that on my Mac it does not matter which font I use, emojis are always rendered?

Possibly because the emoji font is installed? Also not really sure how this is EndeavourOS-related…

[image] jonathon: Possibly because the emoji font is installed? No, because if I install a different font, and I have done so, the emojis are always rendered. [image] jonathon: Also not really sure how this is EndeavourOS-related… Good point. It is probably not specific to EndeavourOS…

[image] Klaas-Vaak: No, because if I install a different font, and I have done so, the emojis are always rendered. On macOS? The emoji isn’t rendered using the current font, it’s rendered using an emoji font. This is the same on Linux distros too, which is why you need noto-emoji (or similar)…

sudo pacman -S noto-fonts-emoji

[image] jonathon: I thought your question was this No, that was not what I meant. However, the issue seems to be Librewolf on Linux. With Librewolf on a Mac emojis are rendered fine, but using the same font in Linux does not render. Anyway, that is not an EndeavourOS issue, I got carried awa…

What the heck I need emojis for?! :frog: :interrobang: :crazy_face: In Linux?! :checkered_flag:

It would be more interesting to know how to get rid of the whole emoji catalog completely without damaging anything else. But it doesn’t really matter, you can simply hide the nonsense in the menu.

Thing is… …me no like type long thought in (long) sentence… …plus me hate long paragraph… Me love show emoji! …so you understand me without much word! :person_facepalming: Intelligence receding I heard! IQ of father greater than of son… …because many people no know the power of emoji?

[Tip] Enable Colour Emojis General system

EndeavourOS, out of the box, does not come with colourful TTF emojis installed. For example, KDE’s Emoji Selector application displays a bunch of □-like characters instead of emojis. However, it is fairly easy get it working. While I’m sure most users already know how to do this, just in case there is a newbie looking for a simple tutorial, I hope this helps. First, install an emoji font. A good choice is noto-fonts-emoji from the repos, but if you want the same look of emojis as here on Disco…
