I thought it would be a good idea to install a font which contains all these symbols (Symbola) and make it known to emacs with unicode-fonts.el. This appeared to be not a good idea. Emacs startup time increased to about 5 minutes. All the `tweaks' like unicode-fonts-existence-checks (quote none) unicode-fonts-restrict-to-fonts (quote ("Symbola"))) unicode-fonts-skip-font-groups (quote ...) did help nothing. What would be the appropriate way to make emacs display emoticons (from Symbola font)?
