Description

Hello,
are color emoji currently supported?

From cairo changelog for version 1.15.8 ( [https://cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.15.8/](https://cairographics.org/news/cairo-1.15.8/) ) it seems there is support for "colored emoji glyphs, stored as PNG images in OpenType fonts".

I tried to convert an SVG containing an emoji to PDF with font with embed PNG taken from [here](https://github.com/googlei18n/color-emoji) but the emoji is rendered without colors.

Did you manage to rasterize colored emoji? which font did you use?

Font and SVG file attached.
[test.svg.zip](https://github.com/Kozea/CairoSVG/files/2832578/test.svg.zip)
[PhantomOpenEmoji.ttf.zip](https://github.com/Kozea/CairoSVG/files/2832579/PhantomOpenEmoji.ttf.zip)

Software versions:
cairosvg 2.2.1
libcairo2-dev 1.16.0

Command:
cairosvg -f pdf -o test.pdf test.svg

Thank you.

Research direction

Start with the attached test.svg and PhantomOpenEmoji.ttf.zip, then reproduce the command `cairosvg -f pdf -o test.pdf test.svg` using CairoSVG 2.2.1 and libcairo2-dev 1.16.0. Check whether colored emoji glyphs are preserved in the generated PDF and identify whether the behavior is supported or needs a change.
