Emojis Stop Working After Restarting Ubuntu (fonts-noto-color-emoji)

  • 772

Because emojis are not displaying in Chromium I had to install fonts-noto-color-emoji via:

sudo apt reinstall fonts-noto-color-emoji

Then emojis work just fine.

But after restarting my machine emojis stop working again.

Is there something, that I have to configure to boot the package at startup? Or what is going wrong?

fonts chromium emoji

  1. Here is a topic related to a bug that you described.

    I fixed it using denshigomi's suggestion:

    So far it seems a permanent workaround is to create a symlink to the noto color emoji files in the current user's ~/.fonts directory:

    $ shopt -s dotglob; mkdir -p ~/.fonts/truetype/noto; ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/noto/* ~/.fonts/truetype/noto

    I've just installed Ubuntu 20.04 and I no longer have the issue.
