After switching to arch linux as my daily driver I came across a new problem: I couldn't see emojis!
There are some emoji fonts you can install an...

Great post!
But I noticed that
<?xml version="1.0"?>evaluates to<?xml version=1.0?>(in zsh) which causes a syntax error when running fc-cache.The same thing happens for
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">. Escaping the double quotes fixes this.Thanks Tim, good point! Maybe I should mention that in the post :)
I believe changing double quotes to single quotes would avoid the error from coming up. Other than that, the script is great! I've been trying to do smth like this for some time now, so thank you for writing this!
Thanks for this!
I was able to get it to work by putting the local.conf file into ~/.fonts and running
fc-cachewithout sudo. The only need for sudo is to install the package. Of course putting the file into ~/.fonts will only work for the local user, I just try to avoid sudo when I can.Do you know how I could get this script working with
Twitter Emoji Color(akatwemoji)?I replaced all lines with
<family>Noto Color Emoji</family>with<family>Twitter Color Emoji</family>, but it didn't work.Go into whatever your font management application is for your DE, and then search for the font's name. Whatever name shows up in the font manager is the name that you have to use in the section. It's how I found out to use JoyPixels for my emojis.
It works better then ArchWiki itself.
However, it destroyed my Conkies. I have to tweak them a bit.
Lastly,
> /etc/fonts/local.confis dangerous. You should either use a text editor or backup first.I would also consider using
fc-cache -v, instead offc-cache.Actually, only ALMOST perfect.
How do i revert this? My fonts seems weird now,with a lot of space between each word :/
The easiest way would be if you have a backup of your
/etc/fonts/local.conffile or didn't had this file at all before!In that case, either restore the backup file or delete the
/etc/fonts/local.conffile completely and runfc-cache.In case you have no backup and had customizations in that file before, open it with an editor and remove all lines containing the emoji font (in this case e.g.
Noto...). Save and runfc-cache.Oh, thanks!
you're welcome ☺️ Did it work?
Worked perfectly!
Nice 👍
Hey @darksmile92 can you help me with installing this font on Fedora... Emoji was not just working instead of emoji a white rectangle box just show up.
worked perfectly!
Thanks a lot! Helped on Debian Bookworm.
I little tweaked it for my own needs and it works perfectly.
Now, KDE shows emojis within the Clipboard Manager. 👍
