I've grabbed numerous different fontconfig snippets from every Google result I could get. I've checked Cairo. I've checked Freetype. I've checked Konsole and KDE settings. I've run fc-cache, rebooted, re ordered fontconfig files, deleted my whole user config...everything. I cannot, cannot, cannot get this font to render in color outside of a web browser after banging my head on the wall for about an hour.

The only thing that worked was uninstalling twemoji completely and switching to Noto. But I honestly like Twitter's emoji better.

This font is SVG-in-OpenType. There are four separate color font formats: SVG-in-OT (W3C), Apple, Microsoft and Google. I chose SVG-in-OT, because is non-corporate, the smallest file size, and allows full color vector images. The other three do not.

I'd make it this font support all four formats at the same time if I had unlimited hours in my day/life, but I don't.

This is a duplicate of #25
