emojis no longer work on windows 10 after recent update
-
I used to see the full color, tiny image emoji, and after this update, they're all this ugly single outline, as if trying to be text symbols. It's extremely hard to make out what they are, especially if it's depicting anything more complicated than a heart (snowflakes and people, for example, are just scribbles). Is there a setting somewhere to adjust this? Please help. I've searched a bunch of times, sorry if I was using the wrong terms.

Update, because it won't let me edit since it's been too long, apparently.edit: After some more exploring I've discovered that it's just when emojis appear in "subject line" or "header" type heavy fonts. It took a while to notice because it's not something I see very often except on some niche/outside North American social media sites (like plurk).

@cccwww On ym Win 11 i get the coloured ones.
Are emojis on https://getemoji.com colour or outline?⇒ https://emojipedia.org/microsoft/
The needed font on your Windows 10 is "Segoe UI Emoji". -
@doctorg As noted in my followup reply (I couldn't edit after so long), they appear normal sometimes, and they appear like text/outlines when they're in header or subject line type heavy font settings (I'm not sure how else to explain it).

@cccwww said in emojis no longer work on windows 10 after recent update:
hey appear like text/outlines when they're in header or subject line type heavy font settings (I'm not sure how else to explain it).
Which header or subject line? Which heavy font settings?
What does that mean?
Like this?:
//EDIT:
Firefox show color emojis whereas like Edge, Chromium or Vivaldi only shwo outline

The h1 tag is my best guess. It's showing up a lot in chat/message board type websites. It's really hard to see, and sometimes it messes up the rest of the text on the line. Before this recent Vivaldi update, it showed the color ones all the time everywhere.

@cccwww As this happens for on on all Chromium-based browsers, it is a bug. Theis has to be changed in Chromium first, Vivaldi is a small team and has not the humanpower, but will get the upstream from Chromium if fixed.
If you like to get better Emoji in Chromium-based browsers then report a bug at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list and leave link to report here.

@doctorg Ok. That's very weird, because like I said it worked before the update, consistently.

@cccwww It could be a bug between a precise version of chromium and a windows KB. In such case could be quickly addressed in the next vivaldi chromium bump (minor update for stable or next snapshot).
Removing the update which caused this could work as a workaround but I don't recommend it.
Links of affected sites will help to check for this. -
️ Is a Windows-only issue.On my
Debian 10 it looks correct:

Ah, i found a bug report:

@doctorg Oh, guess we are in
of chromium devs and webdevs then.
(Even my old w10 20H2 19042.1348 is affected) -
