Description of problem: I cannot see any emojis in e.g. gnome-characters or
hexchat if I turn font hinting off

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fedora 28
gnome-characters-3.28.2-1.fc28.x86_64
fontconfig-2.13.0-4.fc28.x86_64

How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a .config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with hinting false
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
  <match>
    <edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
      <bool>false</bool>
    </edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>
2. Logout & log back in
3. Open gnome-characters

Actual results: no emojis are visible in most applications


Expected results: emojis are visible in all applications


Additional info: idk what component to choose. I love emojis, thank you for
making them a priority.
