Emoji fonts
The section Fontconfig configuration recommends Emoji fonts for all generic font families. But Emoji fonts are not serif, so substituting them for serif family does not sound like the right thing to do. --Cyeleighton (talk) 21:15, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
Does this cause a problem anywhere? --Ngraham (talk) 22:34, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Also, the advice doesn't even seem to be followed in KDE neon. Is it still up to date? --Fanzhuyifan (talk) 20:54, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
