#5777 open defect

No support for coloured emoji with drawtext filter

Reported by: Illya Owned by:
Priority: normal Component: avfilter
Version: git-master Keywords:
Cc: Blocked By:
Blocking: Reproduced by developer: no
Analyzed by developer: no

Description

Summary of the bug:
Using the drawtext filter and a capable emoji font, the colour is changed by whatever the fontcolor parameter is. The emoji should stay it's original colour (in this case, red), rather than being changed.

How to reproduce:

% ffmpeg -t 100 -s 640x480 -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 25 -i /dev/zero -vf drawtext="emojione.ttf: text='Nice 💯 !': fontcolor=white: fontsize=24: x=(w-text_w)/2: y=(h-text_h-line_h)/2" -codec:a copy output.mp4 -y

Replying to Illya:

The emoji should stay it's original colour (in this case, red), rather than being changed.

Why?

Replying to cehoyos:

Why?

because that's how emoji is meant to be rendered

comment:3 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 8 years ago

How would the drawtext filter know that the font you provided contains emojis and not characters?

comment:4 by Illya, 8 years ago

The glyph emoji characters have the suffix 0xFE0F, while the text styled ones have the suffix 0xFE0E

comment:5 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 8 years ago

Am I correct that this is (only) related to libfreetype and has nothing to do with FFmpeg?

comment:6 by Illya, 8 years ago

Freetype has had support for rendering color emoji since version 2.5, so I assumed it was an FFmpeg issue (e.g. the drawtext filter not using the full capability)

in reply to:  5 comment:7 by Cigaes, 8 years ago

Replying to cehoyos:

More or less. When Freetype implements it, FFmpeg needs to implement the corresponding glue to do the color blending of glyph.

For now, IIUC, colored emojis are implemented in various non-standard and incompatible extensions to font formats, I wound not recommend to hold one's breath.

Note: NotoColorEmoji (by Google) is probably a better font than emojione for testing
