29.0.50; Most emoji not displaying in PGTK emacs |
|
Date: |

I use emacs under wayland (sway) with PGTK and native compilation,
compiled from master. However, I found that in this configuration, at
least in my recent builds, unicode emoji are not properly displayed.
E.g. if I call `emoji-list', most emoji are not shown at all, except
very basic emoji like "Smileys > affection." If I insert a unicode
emoji, I just see a unicode placeholder. Calling `describe-char' on the
"Smileys > smiling" emoji from the *Emoji* buffer gives gives me:
position: 65 of 2529 (3%), column: 0
character: C-j (displayed as C-j) (codepoint 10, #o12, #xa)
charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
code point in charset: 0x0A
script: latin
syntax: which means: whitespace
to input: type "C-x 8 RET a" or "C-x 8 RET LINE FEED (LF)"
buffer code: #x0A
file code: not encodable by coding system nil
display: no font available
I tried using a different emoji font via customizing the emoji face,
where I set the font family to "JoyPixels", but this resulted in emacs crashing.
I could not find an existing ticket with "emoji" in the subject that
fits my symptoms, but maybe I didn't look properly or this is a symptom
of another known bug. Or I just misconfigured something on my system
which results in problems with the coding system or something that
happens due to my compilation options. Anyway, I don't know what else to
do to fix this on my own, so I would be happy for hints of if this can
be fixed somehow.
Best regards,
Michael Eliachevitch

Thank you for telling us. I'm therefore closing this bug.
