1516445 - Firefox doesn't render color emojis for certain emojis on kubuntu

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Graphics: Text, defect, P3)

Description

[teabens]

Attachment: mixed-emojis.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji#Unicode_blocks
2. Scroll to row U+1F60x 
3. Notice that it looks like the attached picture

optional:
4. Change font from sans-serif to serif
5. Notice that the emojis are now colorful


Actual results:

For some reason when using sans-serif font some emojis, particularly the face ones, aren't using the colorful emojis. But when we change the font from sans-serif to serif, the emojis show up colorful as expected.

This was first experienced on kubuntu with firefox 64, but I can also reliably reproduce this on linux mint and firefox 63 as well.


Expected results:

We expect all the emojis in the unicode emoji table to be rendered colorfully.

This may actually be more of an Ubuntu fontconfig issue, so I created a ticket on Ubuntu's bug tracker.

If Ubuntu is latest version and bug 1424675 is resolved, this issue will be fixed.

I'm also seeing this in Fedora
