 |
|
Hey all, I was wondering if it was possible to get emoji support in my terminal. When I run
urxvt -fn 'xft:DejaVu Sans Mono,xft:Twitter Color Emoji:size=19'
And try to paste in an emoji, I get the error
urxvt: unable to calculate font width for 'Twitter Color Emoji-19:slant=0:weight=100:minspace=True', ignoring.
I can see characters like ⌚ perfectly fine in my browser. Does anyone have any ideas? |

Which font exactly is Twitter Color Emoji ?
Link to it would be helpful. |

If you adjust lineSpace (-lsp) it will probably work, but you might not like the side-effect of changing this value. I use Symbola to handle Unicode chars not covered by typical fonts, but only certain emoji work. I think it's because of how some of them are defined.

Here is a link to the font I'm using: https://github.com/eosrei/twemoji-color-font
I applied https://github.com/blueyed/PKGBUILD-rxvt-unicode-wide and now I just get blank spaces instead of the boxes.
When I apply the symbola font, I get boxes with question marks inside them... I've read other people suggesting symbola elsewhere, but it doesn't seem to work differently for me.
My .Xresources:
| Code: |
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
urxvt*transparent: true
urxvt*shading: 30
URxvt.letterSpace: 1
URxvt.scrollBar: false
URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:size=9, xft:Symbola:size=9

You might be in for a troble, I fear. See this topic.

| Ugh... I was really hoping to stay with urxvt... Guess I'll try st. This post was kind of my last resort, as I've spent a lot of time googling to no avail. Thanks all for your help! |

Yup. Used urxvt too, but decided to go with (heavyweight) xfce4-terminal, since I'm testing xfce4 for my workflow... although I might replace xfwm4 with i3wm...
