Emojis recently disappeared in foot and/or fuzzel?

Install a non-COLRv1 emoji font (bitmap or SVG-based are fine).

This has always been a limitation in fcft, but it seems a popular emoji font recently switched to COLRv1.

@dnkl is that something that you plan on addressing in the (near) future, or is it one of those "would have to rewrite the whole engine" kind of thing, which will likely never get enough priority compared to bug fixes?

@1ace
Somewhere in between? I started working on it a while ago, but have been forced to put it on hold due to lack of time.

It's not that things have to be rewritten, but a lot of new glyph rasterization logic that has to be written.

I'm still hopeful it can be done. Whether in the near future depends on your definition of "near" ;)

@1ace
Far from ready (i.e doesn't work at all yet), but here's the branch I'm working on: https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fcft/src/branch/colrv1
fcft

A simple library for font loading and glyph rasterization using FontConfig, FreeType and pixman.

@dnkl glad to hear! I probably can't help writing the code (too much on my plate to dive into a new codebase), but I'm happy to help test/debug once it's mostly there, feel free to ping me then :)
