Description:

I noticed it first in Xelatex I don't know exactly when, but I assume it's since commit
'df6f15dc79bea28fa2787bfd257cb8ccd23bd798' But the xx-generic.conf files exist and seem to be loaded. The xelatex file definitely worked before.

fc-list output:
<code>
[maesto@GlaDOS ~]$ fc-list | grep Noto
/usr/share/fonts/noto/Noto Color Emoji.ttf: Noto Color Emoji:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoColorEmoji.ttf: Noto Color Emoji:style=Regular
</code>

xelatex output:
<code>
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
! fontspec error: "font-not-found"
!
! The font "Noto Emoji" cannot be found.
!
! See the fontspec documentation for further information.
!
! For immediate help type H <return>.
!...............................................

l.34 {\fontspec{Noto Emoji}☎
</code>

Interestingly it seems to work in my shell. But libreoffice only prints those nice boxes we all know and love.

Steps to reproduce:
-Install Package
- create .tex file with following content:
<code>
\documentclass[a4paper]{letter}
\usepackage{fontspec}
{\fontspec{Noto Emoji}☎}
\end{document}
</code>
- Compile .tex file with <code>xelatex test.tex</code>

This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Reason for request: I found out at some point that (Xe)LaTeX does not support Colored Fonts. Only Black & White ones. Completely forgot this bugticket.

The font is named Noto Color Emoji, your latex example doesn't reference the correct font name.

Using the Font Name "Noto Color Emoji" doesn't change the behaviour. I checked that before filing a bug, but forgot mentioning it. Sorry for that.
Based on the font config file I would assume too, that 'Noto Emoji' would use 'Noto Color Emoji' (Which it did before.)

Can somebody test this with the attached .tex file. Maybe it's just time to reinstall my OS after all?

We're simply repackaging upstream's ttf file, I don't see how this can be a packaging problem.
