I'd have to see how an emoji-tab renders in an "official" Chromium versus Mozilla. I do recall that Mozilla Roytam/Feodor adds an emoji font (TwemojiMozilla.ttf) because I always intentionally delete it. Unsure if "official" adds this font. I guess I'm just "used to" seeing little boxes here and there because I do prefer to block a crapload of unneeded fonts Edited April 14, 2022 by NotHereToPlayGames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Mozilla tends to handle more things on its own rather than depending on OS or its resources. I've seen emoji issues in Chromium browsers on Windows 7, but not on 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you copy the contents of the "skin" folder of the older browser to this one? because the "About" menu showed: 9 hours ago, v3cv said: https://imgur.com/21Ky1Db is different from mine. My suggestion, please use the browser with a clean profile (no "User Data" folder), without porting any files and then tell me if you encounter any errors with that. If you keep porting files between versions I can't tell what is going to happen. 5 hours ago, v3cv said: It is fine, but I would want to change it to Segoe UI Symbol (in order to see more characters / emojis) The developers of this browser intentionally hardcoded the default font to be a chinese one (among the list of default fonts). The only way I think a font can be added it is by adding the glyphs of other fonts into the chinese font so that they load when the browser loads. 9 hours ago, msquidpl said: On the site you provided the icons work, but on the elektroda.pl forum they do not. On Chrome 87, but on Windows 7 they work without any problem. Interestingly, icons on forum.pclab.pl already work. Maybe it would be worth reporting this bug to the mantainers of the elektroda.pl page. Because the browser can handle the font on other sites. Cheers.

Can't really install the font system wide to to have it automagically work with Chromium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least there's font.name-list.emoji pref specifying which fonts to use. Guess what, I copied seguiemj.ttf from Win11 ISO->sources->install.wim->1->Windows->Fonts to my XP's C:\Windows\Fonts and now have most emojis in black & white on getemoji.com front page on XP on 360Chrome.

And at least with it, the end user can still modify parts of the GUI via Stylem (last I checked, that is). One of my most GIGANTIC beefs against Chromium is that there is no TITLE BAR. THANKFULLY Mypal 68 still has a Title Bar. I still look forward to Mypal 68's "stable release". It's really about the ONLY thing I see on the horizon that would get me to return to Mozilla-based.

It is not advisable to just "mix-and-match" files across different versions/builds/releases. It's always amazed me how often these "mix-and-match" scenarios bring about their own issues that would not otherwise exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotHereToPlayGames Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) I tried Googleing but I guess I don't know where to look. I am curious if having an "emoji" (non-standard font) as a "meta" character (title or tab name) is even "compliant" with official web standards? Edit - To put it a different way, people often condescend Microsoft by calling them "Micro$oft", often condescend Google Chrome "functions" by calling them "Google-isms". We also have "Chrome-isms" as a term often used by Mozilla Fans to condescend something that Chrome is capable of but that Mozilla lacks. So my question is this - are "emojis" in the title bar (and the inclusion of an emoji font) just a "Mozilla-ism"? Shouldn't that offend us just as much as a "Chrome-ism"?

UCyborg Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) Either way, If I understand this correctly, it's all about the fonts. Natively, Windows 8.1 is supposed to be the minimum for colored font support, hence black & white appearance on older OS. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/directwrite/color-fonts https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66867069/emoji-display-black-and-white-windows7-chrome-edge Edited April 15, 2022 by UCyborg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
