Issues with Emoji. #4

Closed shalecraig closed 9 years ago

Typeslab won't render the coffee icon in this this entry:

wake up and rdrink a morning coffee☕️ you can sleep when you are dead

That coffee icon is not a part of the font, but a bitmap.

To support icons, @geelen should include a proper font, like font awesome and a way to switch to it.

That idea may also lead to include custom / user definable fonts. Please consider adding option for a user to select a custom font inline.

Emoji support is really flaky, yeah. Initially it was working in Chrome on OSX 10.10.3 but now it isn't. It does work on Firefox:

Gonna close this for now because I don't have time to actually investigate why rendering emoji to canvas is so flaky. Also, I'm not going to add icon fonts or user-defined fonts, that's not the point. Embrace constraints & use ASCII art :)
