I have used the following fonts.conf
in Ubuntu 16.10 Unity to apply noto color emoji systemwide:
<!-- First install Noto Color Emoji font in ~/home/.fonts, then copy this file to
~/home/.config/fontconfig. This will set default emoji font to Noto Color Emoji font systemwide -->
<fontconfig>
<match>
<test name="family"><string>sans-serif</string></test>
<edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong">
<string>Noto Color Emoji</string>
</edit>
</match>
<match>
<test name="family"><string>serif</string></test>
<edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong">
<string>Noto Color Emoji</string>
</edit>
</match>
<match>
<test name="family"><string>monospace</string></test>
<edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong">
<string>Emoji One Color</string>
</edit>
</match>
<match>
<test name="family"><string>Apple Color Emoji</string></test>
<edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="strong">
<string>Noto Color Emoji</string>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
But now in 16.04.2 GNOME, I'm facing a new kind of problem. All the numerals disappear when I place this .conf
in its place. The clock, for example has no numbers:
And same with calender, battery and everywhere there's a numeral. How can I make the system show numerals?
