Install instructions cause huge oversized emoji characters #17

Open tartley opened 4 years ago

tartley commented 4 years ago

FYI: In the install instructions, the line:

sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10*

causes emoji characters in many apps to look about ten times too large. (They are often then clipped by the line height.).

Specifically, the problem is caused by deleting 10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf, as described here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/940899/noto-color-emojis-look-super-huge

I don't know whether what you're trying to achieve with that 'rm' can be achieved by removing more specific symlinks, leaving that one intact?

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 (pre-release), but the stack overflow question makes it sound like this also applies to older releases.

I don't have any problem personally, I'm just filing this to let you know about it. Close this if you wish. Thank you!
