My OS is Windows Vista SP2 32-bit, fully updated until its EoS; I'm using Supermium-v124-r2-x86 With the browser exited, one can use a tool such as DependencyWalker (use the If, OTOH, one or more dependencies for the local My analysis here tells that on a fully updated Vista/7/8/8.1 OS, no issue should occur and that the MSVC++2015-2019 installation step can be omitted - this is really a WinXP thing, because it a) doesn't come with an OS DWrite implementation (Vista SP2+) b) doesn't come with Win10 UCRT as a MS Update... |

As per the latest update 124.0.6367.245 R2 "DirectWriteCore now bundled with Supermium, as well as Noto Color Emoji" with the requirement of "VC++ 2015 runtime needed to use this version of DirectWrite, or else it will fall back to GDI or older DirectWrite".
I installed VC++ 2015 on my XP system and my emoji are still greyscale in Supermium. Is there a flag or something I need to enable? How do I find out if it's using GDI? GDI fonts in chrome://flags is disabled.
Edit: Ok, got colour emoji working. Had to use 7zip to unzip the installer and copy the NotoEmoji.ttf font manually to the Windows\Fonts folder. The EXE installation doesn't seem to want to overwrite the original greyscale NotoEmoji.ttf file. Once I'd deleted the older greyscale NotoEmoji.tff file from the Fonts folder, colour emoji now appears properly in Supermium. Original question still remains though.
