Description:

I would like to request the feature of not breaking number glyphs with the supplied 75-joypixels.conf.

Additional info:

Followup on https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/65557. Comment that I was about to place before that task was closed:

I see. The .install notice did not fully make me understand what might happen. That it might overrule other emoji fonts, sure, I had no problem with that. I have none installed. But that it might cause regular symbols to become replaced by emojis, that I didn't expect. In a way it's an upstream bug that an emoji font even contains glyphs for numbers... But regardless, some clarification on the .install notice might be helpful.

Would it be a solution to, `mode=delete` the non-emojione emoji fonts instead of `mode=replace` them? That way, they are simply removed from consideration and non-emoji fonts are allowed to fill the number glyphs before the fallback to JoyPixels kicks in for any unfilled emoji glyphs.
This task depends upon
