Hi, I'd like to equip mintty with emoji support by default. I do not wish, though, to bundle emojis with the mintty package because of the different release cycles and the high data volume. Therefore I'd like to ask about your opinion about a few options: 1. Make distinct emoji packages, probably for two styles, one package each (see below). 2. Make emoji packages that only contain a download script as a stub, which is invoked per post-install to download emoji data. 3. Better integrate the already existing emoji deployment script with mintty and maybe invoke it per post-install. I see two sets of free-usage emoji data, license-wise, but I don't know whether the respective licenses are acceptable for cygwin: OpenMoji − Creative Commons Share Alike License 4.0 (CC BY-SA 4.0) Google Noto − Apache license, version 2.0 (mintty uses the image data, not the font) Comments appreciated Thomas
