Hello,

I've try this morning to add Emoji One to my TiddlyWiki, but failed for now.

Does anyone can try and teach me how ?

(I don't know what tag I had to add to simply load external JS even before to add js directly into TW).

Thanks,
Sylvain

You may be able to use the process Tobias describes here https://tobibeer.github.io/tb5/#Using%20%20A%20Custom%20Font

Hi

Most of these cut and paste emoji work in my browser (Chrome/iOS): http://getemoji.com/ (attached json file facilitates importing to your wiki.)
-- if these could be tested in different environments
-- those that don't commonly work can be removed
-- leaving a set suitable for TW5

regards

Hi Matabele,


Thanks for those, didn't know they were available to that extend.

Nevertheless, I played a little with EmojiOne SVGs here:


Best wishes,

Tobias.

Hi Tobias

The emoji font file includes references to the font set -- the font set itself also has a size in the order of 4MB. The major saving is, therefore, that only one font set needs to be loaded on each device, and only a relatively small file included in each wiki. In addition, many new devices will come standard with the emoji font set anyway.

Really like what you've done with emoji one -- makes the acquisition of a few extra icons into a wiki straightforward, and until emoji are widely supported, offers an interim solution. I think both options should be offered -- those that can use the more efficient emoji font set should be accommodated, and a limited number of svg's should be made available for older devices.

regards

Tbh, I wouldn't have a clue as to how to use those fonts and then I was stumped that there were two device specific fonts for IOS or Android. So, I practically ignored those, especially the "apple" font which amazingly weighs in at 34 mb. Can you believe they actually published that? :D

Best wishes,

Tobias.

Hi Tobias

Guess they're counting on cheap memory :-) I suppose, this could be practical if loaded onto a chip specifically for the purpose -- could also use compressed versions, depending upon the device.

I think there could be benefits to the Tw project if there were some wiki text options 

":)" could render as a smile

Particularly important when we're now at the very breakthrough for TWederation and communication between TWs, including comments on other peoples tiddlers etc. (Curious? Watch out for Jed the Wiz waving his magic socks in todays hangout.)

BTW, it goes without saying that <:-) should render a handsome playboy.

Hi

A thought: haven't tested this out ... yet.

Serve the emoji fonts in your browser with this.

regards
