Our font subsetting code that we use for embedding fonts inside PDFs is decades old and does not support this table (which is relatively new) and most likely just discards it, so the embedded font will either show no emoji glyphs at all or fallback black and white glyphs (if the font has any). Even if our subsetter supported this table, there be still an issue in showing these PDFs in environments that do not support this table (old versions of macOS, other platforms, etc.), so we might need to even extract the PNGs and embed them directly on the PDF stream, which is even more complex task. The subsetter is at vcl/source/fontsubset/, the PDF generation code is in vcl/source/gdi/pdfwriter*. I hope this gives some pointers if anyone wants to work in this,</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
