It's depressing for me that chrome doesn't support color emoji

Is there any way to make it work on chrome ? thanks !

Indeed OpenType-SVG is not yet implemented, the ticket tracking that for Chromium is here:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=306078

I think they will implement it sooner or later but I hope it's for this year!

I hope so too, thanks a lot !!

Chrome supports the "Android" color font format. I originally implemented this SVG-in-OT format instead of the others because it is the most useful (uses SVG) and doesn't store the graphics as image binaries (therefore smallest file sizes.) IMO it is the best for web usage. We have to just wait or implement it in Chromium ourselves. I've been waiting three years! Firefox was the only option when I started this project, now Edge, Safari and Adobe all have support.

Chrome works well on win10, maybe the system decides something?

Chrome displays other color font formats, but not this one. See https://www.colorfonts.wtf/

If it's just a matter of rendering vector images to bitmap ones and then putting them inside a font, wouldn't someone have done that already, and made a font that works on Chromium? Because Chromium renders bitmap coloured emoji just fine. 🤔

Yes @ochen1 I could implement that, but then there are multiple fonts and that's a hassle I don't want to deal with right now (see #25). The best solution is for Chromium to support this SVG-based format, please star the issue.
