[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#974924: Bug#974924: Plasma 5.19.5.x: Emojis in black and white ( not color and not displayed correctly)

[Norbert Preining]

Hi Hector,

Good to hear that it worked, but it would be still interested to see the output of the fc-match command before adding the new config file. Maybe the font is requesting too high a priority.

Thanks

Norbert
