Description Gerion 2023-08-07 12:27:33 UTC

SUMMARY
NeoChat seems to render emojis in the different way. On my installation it is the case, that I am perfectly able to choose the emoji from the emoji picker, but as soon it is embedded in the text field or some other contact sends me an emoji, it looks either completely different or is not displayed at all (just a square box).

It seems that the emojis displayed within the text fields are coming from the installed font, while the emojis in the color picker are not.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Choose some emoji in the emoji picker of NeoChat and click on it.

OBSERVED RESULT
The exact same symbol is shown in the text field.

EXPECTED RESULT
The emoji in a different font is displayed or just a square box.
