test document

Not sure if this is OS X specific but if I put emoji into a document, they are not visible when that document is exported to a PDF. The same document works as expected in Word 2016.

The emoji.odt contains: ✉️ My address  | 📞  +44 111 111111 1111  |  ⌨  mymail@mail.com

The only emoji I don't see in either the odt or pdf is the phone. Others are ok. But I guess you meant none should appear..

tested under Win8.1 x644

.odt opened with 4.4.5.1 shows all 3 emojis but the in the .pdf export the phone emoji is not displayed and empty rectangles are shown in place of it

.odt opened in 5.1.0.0 alpha shows no phone emoji and the .pdf export shows no placeholder

the other emojis (envelop and keyboard) are correclty displayed and exported in both versions

according to other users comment there's an emoji PDF export problem in 4.4.x whole there's an emoji display problem in 5.0.x and 5.1.x

let's keep the current bug report for the PDF export issue.

I created Bug 94721 for the ODT display bug, please taka a look at it to confirm

Example PDF with no emoji shown

Beluga: sorry to clarify, for me NO emoji appear in the PDF in LibreOffice 5.0.2 or 5.1alpha, I expect all to show as they do in the ODT on OS X and as Word exports — the attached PDF is made with:

Hi, the latest version 2015.3 of NeoOffice has the following bug fix:

• When exporting a document to PDF, NeoOffice would not include any characters that use the Apple Color Emoji font

See http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/features.php

This sounds the same as this bug, so I wonder if that bug fix can be ported to LO? NeoOffice have a CVS server, not sure if they are willing to upstream the fix (I suppose with the GPL they have to)?

Here is where their source code is: http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/build.php

Well, at least they have sent their license statement: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2015-October/070432.html

I've emailed Patrick Luby to ask for a patch...
