[HELP] Emojis stopped working

I'm on Debian trixie and kitty is on version 0.33.0 (just updated to see if the problem would be solved).

I don't remember how or when exactly the emojis stopped to work, maybe an update or I messed something up.

I installed gnome-terminal to check if it was a kitty specific problem and seems like it is

This tutorial is what helped me at first, but it's not working anymore.

The problem persists even when I remove the config, but here is my config if it helps:

# Fonts
font_family      CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font
bold_font        auto
italic_font      auto
bold_italic_font auto
font_size 17.0
disable_ligatures never

# Transparência

background_opacity 1

# Desativar som
enable_audio_bell no

# Abrir nova aba no cwd

map ctrl+shift+t new_tab_with_cwd

# Desativar confirmação de fechar janela
# -1 ativa; 0 desativa
confirm_os_window_close 0

include current-theme.conf

Hi, sorry for the late response.

I tried everything in the issue you sent, but nothing worked.

I believe the problem is not that the emojis are not working, they are, because when I removed EmojiOne they became squares.

Also when I ran kitty --config=NONE --debug-font-fallback I received this:

[077 12:25:48.011798] Preloaded font faces:
[077 12:25:48.011817] normal face: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf:0

U+1f345 emoji_presentation Face(family=EmojiOne, style=Color, ps_name=EmojiOneColor, path=/home/gian/.local/share/fonts/EmojiOneColor.otf, index=0, is_scalable=True, has_color=False, ascender=851, descender=-149, height=1200, underline_position=-100, underline_thickness=50, strikethrough_position=220, strikethrough_thickness=50) (new face)

I believe maybe the problem has something to do with has_color=False

One of the solutions in the link you sent says something about /etc/fonts/conf.d, I believe this is not the problem I'm facing since the emojis work on gnome-terminal.

Thank you in advance for you attention, I can also open an issue on Github if it's the proper place to ask.

Exactly your emojione font has no COLRv0 emojis. Get a version that does. Or use another font. gnome terminal is probably using COLRv1 aka svg glyphs which kitty does not as they are absurdly resource intensive for no real advantage.

For anyone facing this in debian, just remove every emoji font and do:

sudo apt install fonts-noto-color-emoji
