Noto Emoji
Color and Black-and-White Noto emoji fonts, and tools for working with them.
Prerequisites
- This project uses Python 3.
- You need either zopflipng or optipng. (Zopflipng is better (about 5-10%) but much slower.)
- You need pkg-config
- You need pngquant
Building NotoColorEmoji
This project uses a virtual environment to manage dependencies. Use the following steps to get up and running.
Create a virtual environment called noto-emoji-env:
python3 -m venv noto-emoji-env
Activate the virtual environment:
source noto-emoji-env/bin/activate
Install the Python requirements with:
pip install -r requirements.txt
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. Windows supports it starting with Windows 10 Anniversary Update in Chome and Edge. On macOS, only Chrome supports it, while on Linux it will support it with some fontconfig tweaking, see issue #36. Currently we do not build other color font formats.
Color emoji assets
The assets provided in the repo are all those used to build the NotoColorEmoji font. Note however that NotoColorEmoji often uses the same assets to represent different character sequences-- notably, most gender-neutral characters or sequences are represented using assets named after one of the gendered sequences. This means that some sequences appear to be missing. Definitions of the aliasing used appear in the emoji_aliases.txt file.
Also note that the images in the font might differ from the original assets. In particular the flag images in the font are PNG images to which transforms have been applied to standardize the size and generate the wave and border shadow. We do not have SVG versions that reflect these transforms.
B/W emoji font
The black-and-white emoji font is not under active development. Its repertoire of emoji is now several years old, and the design does not reflect the current color emoji design. Currently we have no plans to update this font.
License
Emoji fonts (under the fonts subdirectory) are under the
SIL Open Font License, version 1.1.
Tools and most image resources are under the Apache license, version 2.0.
Flag images under third_party/region-flags are in the public domain or
otherwise exempt from copyright (more info).
