Color emoji (extras/emoji-font.sh)

SYNOPSIS

wrenctl install emoji-font                     install it
wrenctl remove emoji-font                      remove it
wrenctl manual emoji-font                      print the manual steps below

(nothing to run: restart Firefox and foot, and emoji show in color)

Without a color emoji font, emoji show up as empty boxes in Firefox, foot and every other program. This installs Google's Noto Color Emoji font from Debian's archive, so they show as pictures everywhere. It changes no settings.

LIMITS

• It's only a font: nothing to do with security or privacy.
