Emoji Two (
https://emojitwo.github.io/) is a fork of the Emoji One font
(
https://www.emojione.com/), taken before Emoji One changed to a non-free licence. I
understand that there’s some interest in getting this packaged, so that it could
potentially be the default emoji font in Fedora Workstation (see, e.g.,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1496761#c17). The complication is that the
Emoji Two project provide only artwork, not the tooling to assemble that artwork into a
font.
I’ve had a go at this, using Google’s Noto Emoji tooling, and the results are at
https://pagure.io/emojitwo-fonts. Would someone with more font experience than me like to
take a look at this before I formally submit the package for review? In particular:
- Blindly copying NotoColorEmoji.tmpl.ttx.tmpl to create EmojiTwo.tmpl.ttx.tmpl without
understanding what this file does seems likely to be somehow problematic.
- I’ve not yet tested this on Fedora 27, so don’t know whether the font displays correctly
in colour.
Thanks.
