Description

[Philip Chee]

See Bug 1231701 (Ship an emoji font on Windows XP-7)

> Windows XP has close to no native support for emoji. Even on Windows 7 the
> set is very limited and not very appealing.
> 
> We have a very well developed emoji font from Firefox OS. We should bundle
> that font with the browser on those platforms.

Patch to package the EmojiOne font.

I know this matches what browser and b2g do, just wondering why MOZ_BUNDLED_FONTS isn't used in package-manifest.in

Hm. Not sure if relevant. After Firefox 51.0a1 installation, the font is unpacked as <installdir>/fonts/EmojiOneMozilla.ttf (e.g. /usr/local/firefox/fonts/EmojiOneMozilla.ttf) with no /browser/ dirname in the path.

/browser/fonts/ is the "source" (in mozilla-central)
<installdir>/fonts/EmojiOneMozilla.ttf is the {install) "destination" on your hard disk.

This version centralises the logic in MOZ_BUNDLED_FONTS at the expense of greater verbosity.

LGTM, just curious why Firefox didn't take this approach... r/a=me
