Common smiley support

<< < (3/3)

Tragen:
Robyer, I'm using Windows 10 which supports all the emojis.
The problem is that it's stupid to chose fonts which supports them.
This should be done via proper font substitution by Miranda NG.
So no user should every worry about if it works.

Robyer:
Tragen, interesting, do you know any other messenger which does that?

AnrDaemon:
I vaguely recall that there's functions to test is a chosen font contains support for specific character/s.

Here is the link to Chrome how fonts are rendered with fallback.

So basically when you use TextOut, the system is doing everything for you. In this case we could send all unicode characters,
even smileys. Better support for smiley selection would still be a good thing.
