# EmojiOne SVGinOT Font
A color and B&W Emoji SVGinOT font built primarily from [Emoji One][1] artwork
including full support for [ZWJ][2] [skin tone modifiers][3] and [country flags][4].
The font works in all operating systems, but will *currently* show color
emoji in Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird only. Regular B&W Emoji are
generated for backwards compatibility in other applications.

## Examples
## What is SVGinOT?
*SVG in Open Type* is the new standard for color OpenType and Open Font Format
fonts [adopted by the W3C on January 27th 2016][5] created by Adobe and Mozilla.
It allows font creators to embed complete SVG files within a font enabling full
color and even animations. There are more details in the [SVGinOT proposal][6].
SVGinOT Demos (Firefox only):

[6]: https://www.w3.org/2013/10/SVG_in_OpenType/
## Usage (Linux)
1. Store the font file in your `~/.fonts/` directory.
2. Create a font config directory:
```sh
mkdir -p `~/.config/fontconfig/`
```
3. Override your defaults by creating a `fonts.conf`
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!-- Generic name aliasing -->
<alias>
<family>sans-serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>EmojiOne SVGinOT</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>serif</family>
<prefer>
<family>EmojiOne SVGinOT</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
</fontconfig>
```
## Building
The build process has only been tested on Ubuntu Linux.
Overview:
1. B&W SVGs are generated on-the-fly from the color SVGs
2. The B&W SVGs are imported based on their filename to create either regular
glyphs or ligature glyphs.
3. The color SVGs are imported to override both types of glyphs.
Required applications:
* Inkscape
* Imagemagick
* mkbitmap
* potrace
* FontTools
* FontForge
* SMFBuild (created for this project!)
* make
Run: `make`
*I am happy with the resulting glyphs, but if you have ideas about making
them look even better? Let me know! I am not a font building professional and
only recently learned how to do all of this. So, it may be terribly wrong.* 😋
