--- Comment #1 from Ben Laenen <bl.bugs at gmail.com> ---
I disagree with that, this isn't a DejaVu issue. There are plenty of fonts with
some emoji, you can't go ask all of them to delete them from the font to put it
in a separate one.

This is the same old discussion to have these blacklist features in fontconfig
that we were already having over ten years ago, although it wasn't for emoji at
that time, but rather for different scripts. We already got the LGC version of
Dejavu as a result of it, to provide some solution for users since fontconfig
wasn't changing.

If someone wants an emoji free version, they're free to fork the project, but
we're not going that way again. Put the features in the rendering tools for
once.
