If you have missing glyphs (Emoji in particular) in #Lagrange, this may help:

https://git.skyjake.fi/gemini/font-library/src/branch/main/build/get_symbola.sh

It's a shell/Python script that downloads Symbola from UFAS and converts it to TrueType (using "fonttools"). You can then drag-and-drop the .ttf on the Lagrange window to install it.

(Requires python3 and pip3.)

Symbola is quite a nice Unicode 13 compatible font, but available only for personal use so I can't put it in the Font Library.

Thanks, that worked! · 2 years ago

@kocka_collector You installed Symbola with apt? The Flatpak only has access to your home directory. So the easiest way is to just copy the .ttf somewhere under your home and drag and drop it from there to Lagrange. · 2 years ago

It seems that from flatpak it can't access the version I pointed it at (installed by apt to /usr/share/fonts/...). Might it work if I serve it over gemini on a local server? · 2 years ago
