Noto Color Emoji from 2021Q4 is ~5MB; the other one is the latest one
from Google, updated for Unicode 14.0--hence the ~9MB size. Both .ttf
files contain hundreds of PNG files (do a hexdump -C)--which is why
we gotta compile freetype with PNG support. The B&W .ttf files don't
have PNG data--which is why they display fine.
