Many Emoji Don't Render in SVG

First steps:
Installed two emoji font packages (noto-fonts-emoji and ttf-joypixels)

Result: PhantomJS crashes (SIGFPE) if either of these fonts are installed.

No good.

Other approaches:

Intercept emoji and...

1. Replace via TwiMoji JS package?
2. Force wrap in an explicit font call?

or ditch svg2png (PhantomJS) with headless Chromium, like I've been meaning to do for years... (see #7)

ok well we ditched PhantomJS with df9b202 but this is still an issue based on quick testing.

Twimoji JS package or look into if there is a root cause to address, e.g.:

• Fails to convert svg that contains emoji in a <text> tag neocotic/convert-svg#94
• Fonts are not applied in resulting PNG neocotic/convert-svg#70

Overthinking it.

With the switch to chromium and then installing emoji fonts these all seem to render as intended now.

Noto Color Emoji is preferred, JoyPixels can be manually invoked. Need to update documentation.
