fonts

[hacktorious]

Any idea what fonts I need to install to get the country flags to show up on linux and windows? I've tried tons of them and cannot get them to show up. They work fine on mac.

Hey @hacktorious this seems to be a duplicate of #489 but it looks like that thread was a bit hijack.

This gem produces formal unicode code points and should work for any font that supports these. What version are you running on and what are you observing as the output?

And for clarity, On Linux/Windows, means you are running a process that is producing the flag on a server and produced via command line. Or are you sending these out over the web?

Sending them over the web to a browser in a web application, sorry I should have been more specific. I would think there should be something installed on the client or browser side. For the server we are running: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo) For the client we are running: Chrome on Windows 10

@hacktorious does places like https://emojipedia.org/flags/ work? for those clients?

What version of ruby? It's possible you need to force utf-8 encoding.

Based on the link you sent they are not compatible with Windows.

This should really be the first thing this Gem should be saying in the first line of the README, with a big RED FLAG if you intend to use it for windows use 😡
