Install:
  Copy to $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/fontconfig/conf.d/57-add-emoji-support.conf
  Run fc-cache -f

Description:
  This fontconfig script prepends an emoji family to every other family.
  Then, the emoji family is defined to have EmojiOne Color as its default member.
  This would work with a build of Noto Color Emoji which wouldn't override
  non-emoji symbols, but the one I have overrides at least numbers.
