For Gajim on Linux and Windows (and soon for MacOS as well), emojis are handled by GTK.

After the good investigation from @davidak it seems a gtk issue, right? So maybe @bobby285271 or @simplejack-src could take a look here?

Thanks in advane + KR

sokai commented 1 year ago

After some self-investigation I don't think it's a gtk issue. For me it is/was more an font/fontconfig issue with my configuration and I'll share some points that may help.

@davidak : Just try to open up Gnome Characters. For me all emojis where there but 95% empty and only ~5% visible. Maybe you have the same, so something with your fonts is also mixed-up. :-/

I changed a lot in my (new/beginner) config and came up with a working Gnome Emoji Picker (and also Gnome Characters shows all emojis) with the same output from ll /var/run/current-system/sw/share/gtk-3.0/emoji/ (see above).

At the end I currently run with this (AFAIK more or less relevant) options (for my dual-language system: system/desktop lang en + de inputs/location):

  console.useXkbConfig = true;

  fonts = {
    fonts = with pkgs; [
      corefonts # Microsoft free fonts
      dejavu_fonts
      noto-fonts
      noto-fonts-cjk
      noto-fonts-emoji
      source-code-pro
      source-sans-pro
      source-serif-pro
      ttf_bitstream_vera
      # and some more individual fonts …
    ];
    enableDefaultFonts = true;
    enableGhostscriptFonts = true;
    fontconfig = {
      antialias = true;
      cache32Bit = true;
      enable = true;
      defaultFonts = {
        emoji = ["Noto Color Emoji"];
        monospace = [ "Noto Mono" ];
        sansSerif = [ "Noto Sans" ];
        serif = [ "Noto Serif" ];
      };
      hinting.autohint = true;
      hinting.enable = true;
      hinting.style = "hintslight";
    };
    fontDir.enable = true;
  };

  home-manager.users.sokai = { lib, ... }: {
    dconf = {
      enable = true;
      settings = {
        "org/gnome/desktop/input-sources" = {
          sources = [ (lib.hm.gvariant.mkTuple [ "xkb" "de+deadgraveacute" ]) ];
          xkb-options = [ "caps:none" ]; # NEVER SCREAM!
        };
        "org/gnome/desktop/interface" = {
          document-font-name = "Source Sans Pro 10";
          font-antialiasing = "rgba";
          font-hinting = "slight";
          font-name = "Source Sans Pro 10";
          monospace-font-name = "Source Code Pro 9";
          #scaling-factor = 1;
          #text-scaling-factor = 0.95;
        };
        "org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences" = {
          focus-mode = "sloppy";
          titlebar-font = "Source Sans Pro Semibold 10";
        };
        "system/locale" = {
          region = "de_DE.UTF-8";
        };
    };
    home =  {
      keyboard = {
        layout = "de";
        variant = "deadgraveacute";
      };
      language.base = "en_GB.UTF-8";
    };
  };

  i18n = {
    defaultLocale = "en_GB.UTF-8";
    supportedLocales = [
      "de_DE.UTF-8/UTF-8"
      "en_GB.UTF-8/UTF-8"
    ];
  };

This was both necessary and sufficient to fix missing emoji such as "🛇":

{
  fonts.fonts = [
    pkgs.noto-fonts
  ];
}

NixOS / nixpkgs
