@Makoto, do you think this would impact our apps because the font we use in https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/gfx/thebes/gfxFT2FontList.cpp#1643 is removed on Android 15 devices ( see the link in comment #0) ?

Do we need to add special handling for Android 15 devices? Thank you!

No. This code is unused now since we have shipped COLRv1 support by bug 1791558 (gfx.font_rendering.colr_v1.enabled=true). This fallback was for a workaround until we supported COLRv1 format.

Newer color emoji font (NotoColorEmoji) is COLRv1 format. Old Android is still CBDT/CBLC format with same font name. We are supporting both formats now.

Thank you for the answer!
