[solved] Facebook emoji not displaying properly in Firefox

As much as I hate Facebook, it's usage is barely avoidable nowadays. What I noticed, that in the Facebook chat. when I enter an emoji, for example

:)

Two things happen:
1. An image symbolizing the emotion appears
2. A unicode rectangle appears on top of it

Just like this: Screenshot_from_2016_05_21_11_50_41.png

I didn't expierence such a thing on Linux Mint. How can I fix it?

This is news to me..

I believe the box is a .notdef glyph, displayed when there is no glyph defined for the character. You probably need to install a font which provides the required glyph. ttf-dejavu should contain a basic set of emoji: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode … s/list.htm

At least within the circle of my friends from the university.

I have both ttf-dejavu and ttf-symbola installed, DejaVu Sans Book is my main font.

I grabbed noto-fonts-emoji, works quite well. Most of them are just Google's colored emoji slightly redesigned for monochrome.

The solution was to set

gfx.font_rendering.fontconfig.fontlist.enabled

to true
