The majority of characters in emoji-data.txt are displayed by Noto Color
Emoji, but a number of them are displayed by Symbola and some are
displayed as tofu.

I started emacs -Q in gdb, evaluated the above two set-fontset-font
sexps, put a breakpoint on font_open_entity, and typed `M-x 8 RET
GRINNING FACE RET' and gdb took control, then I stepped through the
function until gdb output `if (font->average_width > 0 && font->height >
0)' and then I entered `p font->average_width' and gdb output $1 = 16.
Did I do this right and does that answer your question?  If not, please
advise.
