4 years ago How odd. This must be a Firefox rendering issue. I'm not sure how to debug further. Can you review the install script for anything which could be causing this? https://github.com/eosrei/twemoji-color-font/blob/5bb1bb0f/windows/install.cmd

First, sorry, I wouldn't know what to look for - I just installed the font so flag emojis would show up.
Secondly, I simply installed TwitterColorEmoji-SVGinOT.ttf as you would any other font in windows, then I enabled it in Firefox in about:config by adding Twitter Color Emoji to font.name-list.emoji. I tried removing the other two fonts also listed (Segoe UI Emoji and Twemoji Mozilla) but nothing changed.
Should I have used the installer? There wasn't one in the zip file I downloaded.

3 years ago Is this issue resolved? Doesn't seem like it, but it has been a long time.
This strongly seems like a Windows font system glyph selection error. It's not something I can change with the font, you may have better luck with the Windows installer version. Currently: https://github.com/eosrei/twemoji-color-font/releases/download/v13.1.0/TwitterColorEmoji-SVGinOT-Win-13.1.0.zip
Since installing TwitterColorEmoji last week for use in Firefox (windows 10) I've noticed that any text on the same line as an emoji is rendered incorrectly and appears bold.
In the screenshot you see examples from reddit and twitch, both with and without TwitterColorEmoji enabled. In the reddit example the word "text" next to the flag appears bold and the twitch example should be self-explanatory.
Suffice to say I haven't seen this behaviour when using just the default windows/mozilla emoji fonts.
