Re: [OpenType] Color bitmap strikes in OpenType

Why is this a better option that supporting emoji via the SVG-in-OpenType proposal?  

 http://dev.w3.org/SVG/modules/fonts/SVG-OpenType.html

Extending bitmap formats seems like the wrong way to go here but maybe there's a reason Google sees this as a better option?

Message from OpenType list:


Hi list,

Today we (Google) released this small specification:

  https://color-emoji.googlecode.com/git/specification/v1.html

Plus tools to put those tables together:

  https://code.google.com/p/color-emoji/

This is now implemented in FreeType.  Is there interest to integrate this back
into OpenType?

Regards,
