STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run LiveUSB version of KDE Linux 2. Open KWrite 3. Insert an emoji, regardless of font used OBSERVED RESULT - Inserted emoji are displayed in black & white, and low quality EXPECTED RESULT - Inserted emoji should be displayed in full color and high quality, as they are in the Emoji selector SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE Linux 2025-05-20 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.14.6-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (13.6 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Vega 11 Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is on live USB. I'd rather not commit to installing on a system with such a major bug.
Moving to the KDE Linux product since font issues like this are a distribution configuration item. Just to note, KDE Linux is pre-alpha, in heavy development and with critical components still changing on a regular basis, but also with corresponding ability to have an early impact on its direction. I’d only recommend using it at this time if that description sounds like fun to you. :-)
It's possible we're missing one of these packages: https://archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=emoji&maintainer=&flagged=
Can confirm, but only in KWrite. Kate and all other apps tested are fine; Flatpak vs native packaging seems to make no difference. I can't reproduce this in Flatpak KWrite on my non-KDE-Linux Fedora system, though. How odd.
We may have lost some font configurations in the changes to /etc
I'm not seeing this anymore. Looks like it got fixed at some point.
