Also the source-code of the font file seems to be  the latest in 2013 sometime as can be seen via https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.git/+log/jb-release/data/fonts\r\n\r\nAlso the new noto fonts could be tried out perhaps by you and take a call as well. \r\n\r\nI also saw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji#Android and made sure that the font package that has been told to be in Linux is not installed so that there are no conflicts. \r\n\r\n    $ aptitude search ttf-ancient-fonts\r\n    p   ttf-ancient-fonts                                               - Unicode Fonts for Ancient Scripts           \r\n\r\nlooking forward to hearing from you.\r\n\r\n"}}
