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
except… for when it doesn't 😅 https://mastodon.social/media/aJvlu4JZKPe_C0l84TQ
next step, use https://github.com/c1710/blobmoji instead…
C1710/blobmoji

Noto Emoji with extended Blob support. Contribute to C1710/blobmoji development by creating an account on GitHub.

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 🤕

@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
