Hi,
fonts-symbola is part of the desktop-common seed which means that is
installed for every Ubuntu desktop flavor (Lubuntu, Kubuntu, etc.). It
looks like the only reason it was added was for basic black & white
emoji support.
Ubuntu 18.04 introduces color emoji support which works in most
non-browser GTK apps.
Ubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, and Ubuntu MATE already include fonts-noto-color-emoji.
I'd like to remove fonts-symbola from desktop-common.
Can I add fonts-noto-color-emoji to desktop-common?
There are more details at https://launchpad.net/bugs/1746310
Thanks,
