Description DaWe 2023-06-05 18:46:56 UTC
(sorry for unprofessional report, idk if it's the right product category)

SUMMARY
I installed Plasma on Arch a few days ago and hit Meta + .
(I was actually surprised about it worked on Linux since I was a Windows user. You guys are fucking amazing!!)
The emoji selector opened, but instead of emojis, it showed squares. Then I found this discussion from 3 years ago:
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/f3rabc/emoji_picker_showing_squares_instead_of_actual/

I installed noto-fonts-emoji but I think it would be better to add this as a plasma dependency, so it will work out of box.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDE Plasma on Arch
2. Hit Meta + .

OBSERVED RESULT
Emoji picker showing squares instead of actual Emojies because of missing noto-fonts-emoji package

EXPECTED RESULT
noto-fonts-emoji should be installed automatically with plasma

Add noto color emoji font runtime dependency

Without this, Emoji Selector shows tofu. Let's make sure packagers know
about it.
