README
This project consists of the following bits and pieces:
* A proposed specification to add support for embedded color image
glyphs in OpenType fonts,
* A tool called emoji_builder.py, to embed a set of PNG images into
an existing font,
* Two sets of sample PNG images for ASCII characters and sample
scripts to build them into test fonts: FruityGirl and Funkster.
* Scripts to build a real color emoji font out of the Open Source
PhantomOpenEmoji images.

Here is the version 1 of the spec:
https://rawgit.com/behdad/color-emoji/master/specification/v1.html
Here is the announcement:
http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2013/05/open-standard-color-font-fun-for.html
Support for this format was included in FreeType in May 2013. Support
has also been included in Fontconfig, as well Skia graphics library.
A proof-of-concept patchset for the Cairo graphics library to use
fallback software rendering for the Xlib backend with support for color
glyphs is at https://github.com/behdad/cairo/tree/color-emoji
Currently, Android, ChromeOS, Chrome Linux, as well as certain versions
of Firefox support rendering fonts built using this format.
This format is now part of OpenType specification, version 1.7:
