Is there an issue with Star and Crescent in Firefox for you? It appears white for me, I don't know why and it's the only one. https://emojipedia.org/star-and-crescent/

Yup, that's pretty much it. Upstream's font.conf broke almost every configuration out there, and since they're unwilling to fix it, the AUR package has its own.

@joehillen This is a long-running saga both with upstream and the Arch packaging of it. (I was the original maintainer of a version of the package predating this one that bundled the upstream fontconfig). Basically: the upstream fontconfig assumes that the system default font is Bitstream Vera and sets it as the first selection for the default font families. This is because Bitstream Vera is a font that does not contain any codepoints in the emoji ranges already which allows for a clean fallback to EmojiOneColor for all emoji characters. Other fonts often include incomplete sets of the emoji characters which gives inconsistent rendering results. The version of the fontconfig with bundled with this package adds EmojiOneColor to the fallback lists for the default sans font family, and the Canatrell font as used by default by Gnome. It also binds EmojiOne to the emoji font family. Bundling the upstream fontconfig resulted in lots of complaints that it broke all the system fonts, or defaulted the system to Bitstream against users' wishes. Getting a single fontconfig to work with the multitude of end-user configurations and to avoid all glyph selection bugs appears to be impossible, this is an unfortunate limitation of what's possible with fontconfig congifurations. The upstream author has battled with this for quite a while, without being able to find a solution that works for everyone ☹️ (see the GitHub issue tracker).

Why does this package have its own font.conf instead of using the one provided in the git repo?

Hi every one, I create ttf-emojione package which contains emojione-android.ttf font from EmojiOne Github repo, with a custom config file. fill free to test it.

v12.0.1 of the font is now available, supporting Unicode and Emoji 12 standards.

A manual installation step is required to configure your default system font and install the configuration file.

Note: Usage with fonts that already include emoji codepoints may give inconsistent/broken results, Bitstream Vera Sans is the chosen as the default as it includes no emoji by default. For further details, please see the project's README file for a discussion of the issues.

@Vierkantor: Thanks, was aware that a new version was being released soon, as I requested it before going on holiday. In addition to your change, you also need to run `mksrcinfo` to update the .SRCINFO file that AUR website uses for the package metadata. Some details are on the Arch Linux wiki here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Sharing_and_maintaining_packages. I've now bumped the package version to v1.3.

@evilgnome: The linked conf file made ALL emojis work (rather than just "most"), but it screwed up every single other font on my system, so it's a no-go.
