I sent an upstream patch to the list about this: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2017-October/thread.html
Really? Where?

I hope you don't mind me reopening this for discussion for Fedora 28, especially since as far as I can tell Fedora 27 doesn't include a color emoji font by default.
That's a bug in gnome-themes-standard, not the bug we're discussing here about fontconfig.
As I'm sure you're aware, newer version of the emojione font are not redistributable.
We already know, it's written as such in the package spec file: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/eosrei-emojione-fonts.git/tree/eosre...
I looked at emojitwo today and it looks like it requires several grunt/node packages in order to build from source, but the emojitwo build documentation is non-existent so I may be wrong.
So it's awkward for distros to package a dead font (emojione) and it's difficult for them to package emojitwo.
We know all this, but decided that it was the best solution for this purpose already. There should be discussions about this on the Fedora Workstation list, as well as in the GNOME bugzilla and/or wiki. If in doubt about any of those, I'd be happy repeating those arguments on the fontconfig list, if you send an email there and CC: me.
Resetting the status of the bug, as the problem in question was already fixed in an errata.
