[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#888411: fonts-vlgothic: wrong glyph for 🐿 U+1F43F CHIPMUNK

[Paul Wise]

Package: fonts-vlgothic
Version: 20141206-4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/vlgothic/VL-PGothic-Regular.ttf
File: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/vlgothic/VL-Gothic-Regular.ttf

The glyph for 🐿 (U+1F43F CHIPMUNK) in VL Gothic is not a cute animal
but a paper page with a folded corner, a pencil and a message:

Dear Sirs
Thank you for
using vlgothic!

The issue occurs in both versions of the font (Gothic/PGothic).

Easter-eggs like this should be in the Unicode PUA instead.

I've attached a screenshot of it rendered in GNOME character map.
Here are examples of what the glyph should look like:
