Font Fallback Stack Emoji Rendering in foobar2000

[Shampagen]

Hello all,

I would like to render emoji fonts using a specific font's font fallback stack in the registry. My specific problem is that I have a particular album downloaded whose name is the "fingers-crossed emoji". Under foobar2000, when I change the font under

Code: Select all

File>Preferences>Display>Columns UI>Colours and Fonts

to "Segoe UI Emoji" the character renders correctly, but with any other character it is displayed as a simple box. Please note I have installed the fonts to (prefixpath\windows\Fonts\).

Initially, I believed this problem to have to do with the font fallback stack, which is a registry key defined for a given font to be referred to when that font does not have a certain character in its set. I followed the instructions on these Hydrogenaud.io forum posts: Topic 1, Topic 2, as well as this help page from the Playlist Tools Spider Monkey Panel github. I did achieve success in changing the font called when Japanese text needs to be loaded when using a font without a Japanese character set, but I did not achieve any success in loading emoji characters using neither "Segoe UI Emoji", "Noto Emoji", nor "Twemoji" as fallback fonts. I repeated this method using two other programs (Wine's notepad and PKHeX (which my gut tells me might not be the best test subjects but idk why they would behave differently)) with the same results. They showed the font fallback stack does indeed work, but for some reason emoji fonts were not being loaded, likely caused by some sort of character (the error(?) box) being chosen before the stack reaches seguiemj.ttf (Segoe UI Emoji).

If it helps, I have made used these winetricks: fontsmooth=rgb, gdiplus, allfonts, cjkfonts. However, this problem does persist in the same manner in a fresh prefix with the emoji font(s) installed.

Additionally, here is the log when I run foobar2000:
