Missing emoji font in Linux #112

Closed 12people closed 1 year ago

Trying the latest version out in Linux (specifically Ubuntu 22.04, on ARM), this is what the emoji picker looks like for me:

Is there a font I need to have in my assets folder for this to work? And could the font be bundled with the Linux version of this package?

I would need to check my Linux 22.04 installation but I won't have access until end of next week. Font can't be bundled by default with the package or the package size would increase dramatically even for those who don't need it. Checkout the custom font example to see if you can improve it https://github.com/Fintasys/emoji_picker_flutter/blob/master/example/lib/main-custom-font.dart

OK, I understand.

Is there a way to check whether the default emoji font is available on Linux?

I will bundle an emoji font with the app, but I'm wondering if it would be possible to use it only as a fallback if the system one is missing.

Unfortunately not - at least that I know. Beside Android Platform, no other platform offers any easy way to check if an emoji is supported or not.
