## Linux desktop: emoji fonts
The emoji picker renders standard Unicode emoji using your system fonts (Electron/Chromium). If emoji show as empty squares (“tofu”), install a color emoji package and restart the app.
| Family (examples) | Package |
| ----------------- | ------- |
| Arch Linux, Artix, Manjaro | `noto-fonts-emoji` (`sudo pacman -S noto-fonts-emoji`) |
| Debian, Ubuntu | `fonts-noto-color-emoji` (`sudo apt install fonts-noto-color-emoji`) |
| Fedora | `google-noto-emoji-color-fonts` |
After installing, run `fc-cache -fv` if glyphs still fail until the next login. Optional: `noto-fonts` for broader symbol coverage on minimal installs.
## Build Desktop Packages from Source
These scripts are defined in `package.json` and `Taskfile.yml`.
