→ @i just sacrificed my latex installation for a sensible font-config
finally seing the point of why you'd want "desktop" apps packaged as snap or flatpak
imagine if i could install texlive-latex & pandoc from those AND make them cooperate…
(i have a "workaround" for pandoc being a pain to install, which is, using cabal-sandbox… but there's no font-sandbox for texlive-latex!!)
anyway, all of this was worth it, because now i get colour emoji https://mastodon.social/media/o1FzwWYhsmYG8lSCxtY
next step, use https://github.com/c1710/blobmoji instead…
i have managed to configure my system to use blob emoji everywhere… (by removing all DejaVu* fonts 🙄)
…everywhere except, whatsapp and firefox and slack and discord and tweetdeck 🤕
"fixed" firefox by overwriting /usr/lib/firefox/fonts/TwemojiMozilla.ttf
but that doesn't fix github >_>
i also bet that i'll have to do this with all electron apps…
but igor, why are you so obsessed with emoji??
imagine someone sends you heartfelt message (containing emoji) and all you can think of is, wow this looks ugly and offensive
i just wish words just could express the same thing as a cat making kissy face, but they can't, so we have to use emoji
why does mastodon-fe replace my emoji that in inserted as actual text into an svg image? 🙄 (FACE WITH ROLLING EYES (U+1F644)) becomes an image link:
<img draggable="false" class="emojione" alt="🙄" title=":face_with_rolling_eyes:" src="https://mastodon.social/emoji/1f644.svg">
Jessica🏳️🌈@hirojin because mastodon sucks
@hirojin source: I actually did try to fix this two years ago
@ticky i just discovered it's a feature that's enabled by default…
i wonder if i can just uBlock it…
…and… how i would do the same on GitHub.
@hirojin you can’t, that’ll just break the emoji altogether. GitHub, for what it’s worth, actually do properly use the system emoji in almost all cases.
@ticky boo, i just tried uBlocking /emoji/*.svg and it broked, just as you said it would
re Github: i guess i still need to tune my fontconfig
@ticky i'm guessing it's because i'm not running mac…
cuz even tho
~ fc-match "Segoe UI Emoji" ; fc-match "Apple Color Emoji"
NotoColorEmoji.ttf: "Blobmoji" "Regular"
NotoColorEmoji.ttf: "Blobmoji" "Regular"
it's serving the replacement: https://mastodon.social/media/a7H8Ev7PlkXtTika21Q
@ticky yupp, works by spoofing the User-Agent https://mastodon.social/media/O3tZpH9yjkdmO2oqFiw
Queer Supervillainess@hirojin Aaaaaaaaaaaa.
Are you planning to document your font-related config anywhere? I've been meaning to improve font stuff on my system for a while.
Also, what's the font issue you are having with *TeX? *switched a while ago to XeTeX for sensible OpenType support, didn't look back.*
@kellerfuchs the issue with any *tex package on debuntu is that it depends on bajillion font packages so that messed up my Firefox font display of monotype fonts
which is no fun when you spend a lot of time reviewing code

@hirojin Oops, yes, that's unfun.
