Emojis work, but not everywhere.
Closed this issue · 3 comments
The emojis are installed and work correctly on certain system parts, but I can't get them to work on the whole system.
Running Fedora 38
On Obsidian
Search Bar shows correct emoji but not the actual search itself
Discord Emojis not correct at all
Some help would very much be appreciated!
Also, I have rebuilt the cache with the "fc-cache -f -v" command any help is appreciated.
@ira-koze You could try changing your browser to use an OSX user agent. Certain websites verify your browser's user agent, and if it identifies as a Linux system, they will serve you the CSS with font-family: 'Noto Color Emoji'. This means that "Apple Color Emoji" won't be used on their site.
And for Discord, they don't use the "Apple Color Emoji" font on OSX as well, and the same behavior would apply on Linux. The emojis they display are actually pictures served from their CDN. I believe they only use Apple Color Emoji instead of pictures in their native app on iOS and iPadOS. Some other similar apps like Slack also serve compressed emoji PNGs instead of loading what's on the system, and there isn't much you can do to change this behavior.
Thanks for the help; I'll look into it and see if I can do anything. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me.
