Am I the only one noticing a slight decrease in quality?

[daniele-athome]

I've upgraded to 0.6.0 and noticed a decrease in image quality of the emojis. I know it's small, but it's noticeable. Maybe it's because of borders, shadows, I don't know...

Here is from commit 182e1ff:

Here is from 0.6.0:

Maybe something went wrong with sprites generation?

Hmm, we have once regenareted the images in the commit 985af97.

It also updated the datasource from where we are pulling, maybe that is the cause?

I don't know... their latest release featuring EmojiOne (4.0.4) shows perfectly shaped emojis, at least for EmojiOne which I'm using now (I know they've been removed, but still...):

Anyway... other emoji sets seem to not be affected by this issue. So, since EmojiOne was removed... I guess I have to close this. :-(

We are using 4.1.0 in version 0.6.0 I think.

Wasn't EmojiOne removed already in 4.1.0?

[rubengees]

You are right! What I said was wrong, release 0.6.0 did use version 4.0.4. We can try to regenerate with the latest version and see how the quality is of that.

[daniele-athome]

Already tried with both optimization on and off. No difference.
And the latest version doesn't have EmojiOne anyway...

I switched to iOS emojis now, which are the only ones really fine (graphic quality speaking); Google and Twitter seem somewhat blurry compared to the datasource. Maybe an investigation for those is due.

[rubengees]

I see, we need to look into that then. Can't think of anything right now what causes that.
I'll reopen the issue to keep track of this.

[vanniktech]

I'll cut a new release soon. Do you want this to be part of @rubengees?

[rubengees]

I'd love to, but not sure how to proceed here. Our data source has not been updated properly, so we can't really update yet (our data sources always become stale :/).

We wait for at least this PR to be merged: iamcal/emoji-data#153

[vanniktech]

Would it be possible to maintain a fork of this @rubengees ?

I also want to get started with #102 again. It's the thing that annoys me the most. I always rely on the search

[rubengees]

Would be possible I guess, but I'm not familiar with how the emoji sheets are generated there.
I also think that a mac book is required, since the images are taken from the installed font files.

Edit: Here are instructions on how to generate: https://github.com/iamcal/emoji-data/tree/master/build
This seems to consist of a range of various scripts.

The PR was merged

So closing this :)
