Emojis Show As Black & White

[Koolstr]

No matter which theme I have applied to Zazu, the emojis appear in the search results in black and white. Even more, when copied and pasted into Zazu's search box, they are still black and white. But they do copy to clipboard in color though, since when pasted elsewhere, they show in color as expected.

Any idea why this is happening and what can be done to solve it?

@Koolstr That is really strange. Have you by change adjusted your system font? What OS are you using?

Thanks!

Windows 10 1607 Latest Build 14393.693. I've never changed the system font as far as I'm aware. I didn't even know that is possible. How do you go about changing and checking the system-wide font?

I haven't tested at all on Windows, but I'll try to soon. Now that I think about it, I'm fairly certain it is caused by the font requested by the theme. I'll see if I can't force a font with color emojis.

Thanks!

Thanks for the effort. Tell me how it goes :)

Hey, I haven't forgot about this. I did research, and confirmed I need to set the font of the output. However, I can't seem to get Zazu working on the Windows machines I have around (keep getting ECONNRESET). I'm hoping to try again with a newer machine tomorrow.

Thanks for being on top of this. Take your time.

I finally got a machine to test with and hit a roadblock... It seems I can't change the font family of the results (unless I'm missing something) from the plugin itself. The only thing I can do is show a preview (like how the clipboard plugin works).
