Update to Twemoji 15.1.0 (Emoji 15.1)

[win98se]

Will fix #73, #72, #69 & #68; Also includes workarounds for jdecked/twemoji@dbb2a10#commitcomment-124376242.

Notes:

• A previous workaround for 1faa9.svg has non-hex color in fill twitter/twemoji#537 (solved in upstream) is removed.
• Switched to https://github.com/jdecked/twemoji, as https://github.com/twitter/twemoji is now unmaintained (all contributors of the latter repo are laid off by Twitter, subsequently created the former repo and are continuing to contribute). Please consider whether to adapt the changes.

Caution: The fs.rm method is only compatible with Node.js version >=14. Recommended versions are >=16 (in Node.js versions 14 and 15, npm install throws a bunch of warnings and errors, although the make step runs fine).

Twemoji 15.1.0 is out ~12 hours ago; Updated accordingly.

@win98se Hi, I’m wondering if you could help me with building the font on your branch. I’m getting this error without any indication of where it’s happening:

npm run grunt webfont

> twemoji-colr@0.7.0 grunt
> grunt webfont

Running "webfont:Twemoji" (webfont) task
Fatal error: CreateListFromArrayLike called on non-object
make: *** [build/raw-font/Twemoji Mozilla.ttf] Error 3

Is there an npm version mismatch or some dependency is broken there? Did you try running this recently?

I met the same issue when packaging it in archlinuxcn.

Works fine for me on Ubuntu 22.04 with Node 21 when running npm i && make.

My nodejs version is 22.3.0 and npm version is 10.8.1. I'm on Arch Linux.

[CoelacanthusHex]

I see grunt-webfonts use fontforge, its version is 20230101-4.

[win98se]

I have no problems building with Ubuntu 24.04, Node.js 22.3.0 and npm 10.8.1.

@Tricertops Please mention your build environment (such as operating system/distro, versions of Node.js and npm) as well.

[win98se]

@CoelacanthusHex Please try to install the packages, fontforge and python-setuptools -
sudo pacman -S python-setuptools fontforge
Then retry building.

@Tricertops Please also try the above steps I've mentioned if you're also using Arch Linux.

@CoelacanthusHex Please try to install the packages, fontforge and python-setuptools - sudo pacman -S python-setuptools fontforge Then retry building.

Ok. python-setuptools is missing.

@Tricertops Please also try the above steps I've mentioned if you're also using Arch Linux.

@win98se Thanks! It seems like the package python-setuptools was missing for me as well!

I’m on macOS 14.5, node.js 22.3.0, npm 10.8.1, python 3.12.

However, I’m also facing another issue that I tried to fix, but didn’t find a way:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "[redacted]/TwemojiMozilla/fixDirection.py", line 1, in <module>
    import fontforge
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fontforge'
make: *** [build/Twemoji Mozilla.ttf] Error 1

I definitely have fontforge package installed, but for some reason this script can’t locate it. When I skip the fixDirection.py step of the build, the rest of the make runs fine and I’m getting the TTF file on the expected location.

Do you have any ideas? I’m not really skilled in python 🤷🏻‍♂️

[win98se]

I definitely have fontforge package installed, but for some reason this script can’t locate it.

Ah, it seems to be an environment problem. In your case, try to edit the Makefile file, with line 37 reading $(PYTHON) fixDirection.py $(RAW_FONT_TEMPORARY) changed to fontforge -lang=py -script fixDirection.py $(RAW_FONT_TEMPORARY) (replacing the term $(PYTHON) with fontforge -lang=py -script). Finally, rerun the make step.

@win98se That works, thank you very much!
