Noto Emoji
Color and Black-and-White Noto emoji fonts, and tools for working with them.
The color version must be built from source.
Building NotoColorEmoji
Building NotoColorEmoji requires a few files from nototools. Clone a copy from https://github.com/googlei18n/nototools and either put it in your PYTHONPATH or use 'python setup.py develop' ('install' currently won't fully install all the data used by nototools). You will also need fontTools, get it from https://github.com/behdad/fonttools.git.
Then run make. NotoColorEmoji is the default target. It's suggested to use -j, especially if you are using zopflipng for compression. Intermediate products (compressed image files, for example) will be put into a build subdirectory; the font will be at the top level.
Using NotoColorEmoji
NotoColorEmoji uses the CBDT/CBLC color font format, which is supported by Android and Chrome/Chromium OS, but neither Windows nor MacOS. No Browser on MacOS supports it, but Edge on Window 10 with Anniversary Update does. Chrome on Linux will support it with some fontconfig tweaking, see issue #36. Currently we do not build other color font formats.
