Color Emoji support/multi-color fonts (FreeType 2.5?)
Hello, would it be possible to add emoji support? I was googling around and apparently I think FreeType2 supports it? http://www.freetype.org/ (see the release notes for version 2.5).
This is a link to a discussion of how Google added emojis to Android in case it is relevant http://sndbox.tumblr.com/post/67664038523/kitkats-color-emoji

What exactly would "emoji support" mean in the context of a terminal emulator? I can understand what this would entail in, say, an IRC client, but a virtual terminal? Since e.g :) might well have a symbolic meaning in shell output, I don't think we want this to be auto-substituted by a smiling face...
For example:

LOL.
I believe they are actually basically multicolor Unicode characters.
That's pretty cool actually :) If this is indeed in FreeType, it should probably work out of the box with the right version.
I'll definitely give this a try.
Great, I'm excited to see if it works.
