The windows 10 ones are atrocious but I quite like the windows 11 ones. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams-publi...

The comments on that article are hilarious. Never in my life would I have expected someone to complain about a lack of professionality in an emoji set. Since when are emoji professional?

pic says thousand words emoji says about ten still an improvement

Problem is they don't say the same thing to everybody. Do eyes emoji mean you are looking at it, or you want me to look at it, or that you have seen it? They don't really say anything.

Re the stuff about @-moz-document at the end, does anyone remember exploiting IE bugs in parsing CSS to present different rules for IE vs firefox, especially to work around IE's broken box model? I remember actually using this[0] hack somewhere long ago: div.content { width:400px; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family:inherit; width:300px; } I can't believe the stuff we used to go through.

Speaking of font differences, the default Windows emoji font is so bad I don't understand why Google doesn't just ship their Android emoji font with Chrome and default to that.

I struggled with this recently, upgrading qtwebkit from Qt5 to Qt6. Qt5 used platform-specific height values, while Qt6 now uses win height values, for consistent rendering across all platforms. It’s better in concept, the only issue is that the really big cross-platform browser _doesn’t_ so it turns into “why doesn’t this font rendering look like Chrome on Mac/linux?”
