This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux. This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == The Noto Color Emoji fonts have released some new files with the COLRv1 format. The COLRv1 format is a color scalable font compared with the previous color bitmap fonts. == Owner == * Name: [[User:pwu| Peng Wu]] * Email: p...@redhat.com == Detailed Description == The new Noto Color Emoji font uses the new COLRv1 format. The COLRv1 format provides the color scalable emoji glyphs with smaller file size. == Feedback == == Benefit to Fedora == This new font format provides better scalable color emoji rendering results and smaller file size. == Scope == * Proposal owners: google-noto-emoji-fonts * Other developers: <!-- REQUIRED FOR SYSTEM WIDE CHANGES --> * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issues #Releng issue number] <!-- REQUIRED FOR SYSTEM WIDE CHANGES --> * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) <!-- REQUIRED FOR SYSTEM WIDE CHANGES --> * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: == Upgrade/compatibility impact == The Noto Color Emoji font will switch to use COLRv1 font format. == Early Testing (Optional) == == How To Test == After upgrading to Fedora 43, the new color scalable emoji fonts will replace the old color bitmap emoji font. Please open some documents or web pages which contain the emoji character sequence to check the emoji rendering results. == User Experience == The new scalable font format should have better or similar rendering results compared to the old bitmap font format. == Dependencies == == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: If the new font format has some issues with some applications, plan to provide another google-noto-color-bitmap-emoji-fonts sub package for compatibility. * Contingency deadline: Fedora Beta Freeze * Blocks release? No == Documentation == Spec: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/colr == Release Notes == -- Aoife Moloney Fedora Operations Architect Fedora Project Matrix: @amoloney:fedora.im IRC: amoloney -- _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-annou...@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-annou...@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
