GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 764794
Prefer the "emoji" font
Last modified: 2017-08-10 14:48:03 UTC
When an "emoji" alias font is available (similar to "Sans" in fontconfig), prefer showing the emojis using that font.
With fontconfig and pango master, this is now automatically done, so no need to work-around that problem in Characters. See bug 785566.
