3 years ago There are screenshots attached on Launchpad. This was a fresh install of Linux Mint 20.
I will see if I can repro on Ubuntu 20.04 MATE edition as well from either a VM or live USB.
Hello,
Thank you for all your work on this! 😄 There seems to be a bug reported in Ubuntu (Linux Mint, specifically, but it takes packages from Ubuntu, so..): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mate-notification-daemon/+bug/1908124
I'm copying the contents of the bug report here so that it saves everyone a click (which I've learned to be important from LM forums :P):
Since upgrading to Linux Mint 20 from 19 (18.04 Ubuntu base to 20.04), I've noticed MATE notifications now render absolutely massive emojis. LM is using the unmodified Ubuntu MATE package, so I am submitting the report here in the hopes you can assist.
Not sure if this is the right package for the report but this is what dpkg -S pointed me at.
Expected behaviour: emojis are approximately the same size as the rest of the text in the notification.

There seems to be some discussion (and also screenshots of this issue) in the Ubuntu bug report as well, so worth doing that click, I guess 😅
Please let me know in case you need more information or something; CC'ing @ehashman (hiii! \o) since she being the original reporter can help provide more information if and when needed! \o/
Lastly, also CC'ing @sunweaver (hiii! o/) since he maintains this in Debian (and also helps here and is also someone I personally know) and the package is essentially taken from there (Debian -> Ubuntu -> Linux Mint).
