8. Searched my Bookmarks & rediscovered this old reference https://archived.forum.manjaro.org/t/tutorial-how-to-enable-system-wide-color-emoji-support/35188
9. i diffed that url's /etc/fonts/local.conf against that per #2, noted multiple differences, decided to retain #2.
10. Noted that url's "Go to your settings or configuration tool and change the font to "Sans Serif". This will use the configuration we've just created so apps can show emoji." & rejected it -- as previously stated, i simply will not change my prefered default fonts merely to use some lousy emojis.

But… why don’t you simply change the Noto Sans & Noto Serif to your preferred font?

Nevertheless, IIRC, this (the config behind the link) is what I tried & failed.

Snicker.

Still working hard on #17 here.

@Gwen-Dragon : thanks, finally!

Please update instructions at https://help.vivaldi.com/article/reporting-crashes-on-linux/ : the url is not

wget https://vivaldi.com/download/vivaldi-<version>.<arch>-debug.zip

but

wget https://vivaldi.com/download/files/snapshot/vivaldi-<version>-<arch>-debug.zip

…but now I succeeded, with none of the fonts being Noto {Sans|Serif|Mono}

What does this mean? Are you saying that now, despite your attempts originally not working, you do now indeed see emojis in your V-SS Menu?

Specifically which file [including path] did you edit pls?

@Steffie I’d stick to my instructions, but that’s only natural, because it works here, lol. I remember darkly that I had to reload font cache after adding local.conf.

A Former User

@Steffie I edited ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf. And as mentioned by @luetage, you have to reload the font cache afterwards (not sure if it’s done on Plasma restart, but fc-cache -f works well w/o that). Oh, and of course after changing all the settings you have to restart Vivaldi.

In this build I can't edit notes using the floating note panel. As I set my cursor in the note the panel "floats out".
Don't know if the problem was also present in the last ones.

@AndreyL There is no need to update the instructions https://vivaldi.com/download/vivaldi-3.4.2059.2-x86_64-debug.zip works fine. There is a redirect but it works. The initial problem is simply that they were not uploaded for the last snapshot.

@luetage

I’d stick to my instructions

Ta. Unless you can spot a divergence i made in my documented steps 1 - 7 above, then afaik i did follow your method. Re this beeswax of "reload font cache", well obviously this is the first time i have heard of this, ergo i did not manually do it before... but surely my documented logout/in AND reboot served this purpose? Yet, it did not work for me.

@potmeklecbohdan said in Custom links in menus – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2059.2:

I edited ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf

Oh, so you mean this:

@potmeklecbohdan said in Custom links in menus – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2059.2:

\2. (Doesn’t seem right to me, and is equal to uninstalling the other emoji fonts)
In ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf:

But holy cow, your version now only has 9 lines, whereas my one [the default one, not edited] has 83 lines. There's no way i am willing to do that; logically it must imply possibly substantial unintended consequences to make a change so large, merely for these lousy emojis.

Thanks anyway.

Errr… no. I copy-pasted the relevant part of what’s behind the MF link you’ve posted into ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf (then changed the Gtk settings, refreshed font cache & checked whether it works).

But holy cow, your version now only has 9 lines, whereas my one [the default one, not edited] has 83 lines.

The version I’ve posted is only the relevant part of the file, in its completeness it has 61 lines (I hoped that the in before the file name, together with the fact there was 2-space indentation, would be enough sign that it isn’t the complete file).

Steffie

@potmeklecbohdan Thanks, but don't worry any more - i have given up.

Looking on the stack, probably chromium doesn't like my vncviewer.

Very first iteraction (I use v-button, mods and single menu on main snapshot) :3

I'm not allowed to attach *.apng so I opted for a classic *.gif

The first Emoji should probably go where the standard icons are, but I'm unsure if it is a chromium menu limitation.

@Steffie Well, we don’t use the same operating system. That’s the whole problem with Linux, no target. It’s the reason why software developers tend not to bother with it in the first place. We could of course argue it’s a strength, but it’s the main reason why the market share is and will remain low on the desktop. Crucify me, but I wished the fragmented ecosystem would just decide for one distribution, desktop environment and window manager and release one main GNU/Linux operating system and live happily ever after. I tell you, if that'd be the case you would have working color emojis right now

@luetage Well, for this kind of people there’re Windows, macOS & Chrome OS… I have no idea how complex such things would have to be to satisfy everyone.

Now you've gone & done it.

BRIAN: What will they do to me?

BEN: Oh, you'll probably get away with crucifixion.

BRIAN: Crucifixion?!

BEN: Yeah, first offense.

BRIAN: Get away with crucifixion?! It's--

BEN: Best thing the Romans ever did for us.

BRIAN: What?!

BEN: Oh, yeah. If we didn't have crucifixion, this country would be in a right bloody mess.
