error with $ txt2pdf -f NotoColorEmoji.ttf -o test.pdf test.txt

[GNU Support]

I would like to get color emoji, but there is error:

Do you have an example (along with font location) that shows the problem? My guess is that it's specific to the NotoColorEmoji.TTF font being used. You could try loading it into a tool like FontForge and re-saving it - but that's an educated guess on my part.

for:

txt2pdf -f NotoColorEmoji.ttf -o test.pdf test.txt

need test.txt as attachment and location (or attachment of NotoColorEmoji.ttf)
