Well, that's why it's a beta, so I can break things! Haha! I'm so sick of fighting fontconfig. I had no idea I'd spend so much time on it. Can you give me your output for: $ fc-match -s sans | head -n 10

Here it is. Hope you can find something odd, because from what I understand, I can't.

Yes, that's correct, I know it's hidden but can you post the specific font request also: I assume you've tried restarting Firefox and X(aka logoff/login)? The computer doesn't need a complete restart, just gnome/unity/etc. What about Chrome? Is it using the correct b&w glyphs? |
I've posted the other command also in a ninja edit some minutes ago. Just restarted Firefox to make sure. I can't restart X right now, but beta 2 started working right away so I didn't think of doing that. I'll try to restart X as soon as possible and report. Same for Chrome/Chromium, I don't use it so I'll have to install it. |
I've noticed in some of the massive number of times I've installed the font that character updates work correctly, but complete font changes don't. I technically renamed the font between beta2 and beta3 by fixing an oversight bug in SCFBuild. It was identified before as "Emoji One Color Regular", but now is correctly "Emoji One Color SVGinOT" I'm adding SVGinOT to the
You don't need to install Chrome. Just copy/paste some text into gedit or another text editor. Anything that'll use the b&w glyphs. |
I confirm that using the 1.0-beta3 ttf file with the fontconfig conf file from 1.0-beta2 works as expected. After replacing new fontconfig file, it only takes a few seconds for Firefox to stop displaying emojis correctly. Putting the old fontconfig file, makes it work properly again. I understand the new approach, but it's not working for me, for some reason. It seems like emojis from DejaVu Sans and Symbola are taking precedence. Fun enough, I tried this on a clean 16.04 machine and it worked properly. Don't know why. I'll try it again on another user profile on the same 14.04 machine tomorrow. |
The problem could be a Firefox regression found by @saltyhorse: #1 (comment) It was a solution for me to "clear the firefox font cache":

Hey, you're right! Thank you for the support, I hope this gets fixed soon on Firefox. Maybe you can add a warning on the README.md to avoid annoying people like me 💃 I can confirm MySQL Workbench also works properly now! 👯 |
Awesome! You should/could add your specific experience to the Firefox bug report. It's caused by my font... again... haha, but your experience means far more people will encounter it. I'll add a note about this to the readme after the GTK bug. |
First of all, thank you very much for your work. I think it's awesome to be able to see color emojis at last on Linux.
I'm having a problem with Mysql Workbench, showing squares instead of text in the main screen. Most screens and dialogs also have this problem but in a minor scale, they are mostly usable.
Some details blurred on purpose, but not squares in there:
