I tried to uninstall since I am using Chrome mainly now and would like not to have the fallback emoji.
However the uninstall script did not restore the emoji functionality of Chrome.
How do I restore it? Is it possible to make it a part of the uninstall script?

Using Windows 10. Font version 14.0.2

Steps:

  • Verify Chrome is using correct emoji font.
  • Install Twemoji font using install script from the release .zip
  • Start Chrome and verify it is using fallback emoji now.
  • Run uninstall script.
  • Restart Chrome.

🤔 That's strange, the uninstall script just reinstalls the original fonts. Confirm they are on your system? Check the script here: https://github.com/13rac1/twemoji-color-font/blob/85d28019f7ddb400be1a729ba9cbf53d2e1e2589/windows/uninstall.cmd

I can find a font called Segoe in my C:/Windows/Fonts folder. My emoji keyboard from shortcut Win key + . works fine. But I only see the fallback emoji font in Chrome.

edit: the emoji are working fine on Firefox, seems to be a Chrome issue. I'd like to know if it's possible to make it work in Chrome again.

I'm having the same issue, only with the Edge browser. I ran the uninstaller and rebooted twice. The emojis on the browser are still in B&W.

I noticed it only seems to happen on certain sites. It happens on this one and archiveofourown.org. I can also see the emojis on this page, though exhale is a cloud rather than a face. https://emojipedia.org/smileys Things like melting or smiling with tear are missing, but the others show up. Not sure what's going on.

Okay. I figured it out for me. I had the wrong font chosen on the browser. I had OpenMoji Color instead of Segoe UI Emoji. User error on my part.

How did you change the font on the browser? I'm encountering this issue as well after uninstall.

I'm encountering it as welll even though I'm using Segoe UI Emoji font, what am I doing wrong? I've ran the uninstall script but I cant see my emojis in Chrome. I only see them in black and white
