If you need to temporarily change the font size for a Konsole window and use
CTRL-+ or CTRL-- it only changes the font size for ASCII characters not for
emoji.

I'll send a screenshot after the bug is created.

The attached image shows the results of cating a file containing emoji in both
kitty and konsole and using CTRL-+ repeatedly to change the size, kitty scales
the emoji with the text and konsole doesn't.

I don't think the config option to set the emoji font size should even exist,
it should just be scaled to the text.

Dear Russel,

Though very hidden, you can work around this manually.
In the configuration file of your Konsole profile if you set the font size to -1 it will scale with the current zoom level.
You’ll find profiles configuration files in :
    ~/.local/share/konsole/${profile}.profile
The size is the second field just after the font name.

In Plasma 6 the default emoji font is already Noto emoji so you can more easily live with it and not trigger the bug.


Happy hacking,
