As I say, COLR works in other GTK apps, so I don’t think it’s as simple as “Cairo doesn’t support that”.

Observation:

First I grabbed a COLR TTF (e.g., https://github.com/hfg-gmuend/openmoji/raw/47c9efe5449ba2ef77b77cdcae28b00811dea843/font/untouchedsvgz/OpenMoji-Color.ttf) and saved it to ~/.local/share/fonts/.  Then:

ELISP> (x-list-fonts "OpenMoji Color")
("-NONE-OpenMoji Color-normal-normal-normal-*-*-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1")
ELISP> (font-info (car (x-list-fonts "OpenMoji Color")))
nil

This makes me suspect that the problem isn’t with outputting with the font, but in finding the font in the first place.  I’m not sure how to go about debugging this.
