Disabling Emojis in the UI

Disabling Emojis in the UI

[Philip Kaludercic]

Hi,

in Emacs 29 (I don't think this was an issue in 28) I see emojis popping
up in the UI, as for example the C-h b buffer.  If the Noto emoji fonts
are installed, the folding buttons are displayed using these, and I feel
this looks out of place.

Is there an option to disable their usage in user interface, without
loosing them in regular text?  (I know that in this specific case, I
just have to modify outline-minor-mode-buttons).

You might want to `M-x report-emacs-bug` or mention this on emacs-devel.
I think other people have already expressed a dislike for it.
Maybe the current default is a bit too emoji-happy.

Stefan K is working on a library for icons like this, so we're waiting
for that before doing anything further in this area.
