Hi all,

I'm using a recent build (41b1fa05c7) from master on Win10 and have the
following snippet in my init file for emojis:

    (set-fontset-font t 'emoji
                      (font-spec :family   "Segoe UI Emoji"
                                 :registry "iso10646-1"
                                 :size     9.3)
                      nil 'prepend)

Is it possible to get color emojis with Segoe UI Emoji?  This is what I
see when using `C-x 8 e i':

And when I choose 'Water Closet' under transport-sign (which is a new
method to me ;-), it is inserted B/W.  The character itself is taken
from the font:

            character: 🚾 (displayed as 🚾) (codepoint 128702, #o373276, #x1f6be)
              charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0x1F6BE
               script: emoji
               syntax: w 	which means: word
             category: .:Base
             to input: type "C-x 8 RET 1f6be" or "C-x 8 RET WATER CLOSET"
          buffer code: #xF0 #x9F #x9A #xBE
            file code: #xF0 #x9F #x9A #xBE (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
              display: by this font (glyph code):
    harfbuzz:-outline-Segoe UI Emoji-medium-normal-normal-sans-12-*-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1 (#x1882)

I tried to install Noto Color Emoji from here[1] but the
WindowsCompatible ttf still doesn't work under Win10 (Ver 21H1, 19043).

Any chance to get colors with Segoe?

Best, Arash

Color fonts on Windows requires APIs that we donʼt use (because
theyʼre C++?). Eli, is there a useful overview somewhere of what is
needed?

It isn't currently possible to get color Emoji on MS-Windows.  Color
fonts are not supported there.  Patches to add that are welcome.

Thanks.  I can't fix the issue, but I can provide a patch documenting
the current state, say for NEWS in emacs-28.  I'm not sure if "No color
fonts on MS-Windows" is mentioned somewhere.

Best, Arash

It says "on capable platforms", doesn't it?

We don't usually have NEWS entries saying that some feature is not
available on MS-Windows (or macOS, for that matter).
