Support the Emoji with the personal font on the Swing application.

[Vincenzo Palazzo]

Hi guys,
I have a question on adding the support of the Emoji to my personal look-and-feel, I'm the developer of  material-ui-swing and I'm using the "Noto Sans" for font and it doesn't support the emoji (like ♥).
I'm loading the font, Noto Sans, with code like this

try {
     GraphicsEnvironment ge = 
         GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
     ge.registerFont(Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File("A.ttf")));
} catch (IOException|FontFormatException e) {
     //Handle exception
}

This is the actual visive effect


Well, now I want to add Noto Color Emoji inside the look-and-feel but I don't know a method for using "Noto Sans" and "Noto Color Emoji" together.
PS: I know only one method for support this, and I must join the file fonts described inside this question on stack forum.
Exist another solution to this problem with Java?
Thanks your help.

It might be possible to create a Font object in Java which encapsulated two different fonts and did what fontforge does, only it would do that on the fly. For example you would write one of the methods like this:

public boolean canDisplay(char c) {
  return font1.canDisplay(c) || font2.canDisplay(c);
}

That would be tedious but I'm sure it's not beyond your abilities. The only problem you would have would be when you had to load that "font" from a TTF file, but possibly that wouldn't happen.

Hi, thanks for your help, I will examine your solution to create the personal font; I will return here with the result.
