Description
This is not proper bug report but rather question for guidance due to my lack of ability for searching codebase of gadgetbridge + banglejs.
With fontext I was able to achieve regional font in messages -> emoji is changed to ascii
With fontext and "text as bitmaps" option in gadgetbridge emoji is proper but now regional characters are also converted.
This is same behavior as if I didn't install fontext package.
I tried also mess a bit with transliteration options but no luck there.
This is a bit annoying since messages font is scaled based on how much text will be visible. Bitmaps stays same size tho.
As for now I am almost certain that problem is with my setup or gadgetbridge function to convert problematic strings but I post it here that most likely somebody can help me get proper info before posting it on gadgetbridge repo.
I use combo of nightly builds and 2v26.1 fw
Thanks in advance

Baseline with or without bitmaps:

But bad regional chars (bitmaps mode):

But as expected no emojis:
