Emojis don't render as colour emojis, if the default font has black and white versions

    • Bug
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • P2: Important
    • None
    • 5.15.0
    • GUI: Text handling
    • None
    • Any Linux distro with Qt up to version 5.15
    • Linux/Wayland, Linux/X11

    Description

      When you have the following qml (also works with widgets, etc):

      import QtQuick 2.2

Text {
 width: 200
 wrapMode: Text.Wrap
 textFormat: Text.RichText
 text: "����"
}

      It will render all but the last emoji without colour and the last one with colour. Currently I have to surround all emojis with a font tag, that selects a colour emoji font, just so that I can have coloured emojis. I would appreciate it, if Qt would actually render these emojis as colour emojis, so that I don't need to use the RichText format. This probably happens because DejaVu Sans supports some of those emojis, but only in black and white.

      https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-71929 seems to have also described this issue, but it was closed as a duplicate of a Windows bug, that was fixed with a Windows specific patch in 5.15. Since I can still reproduce this on Linux, this seems to still be an issue.
