So this has been driving me nuts all day. I was using OpenSansEmoji.ttf in a project and the emojis weren't showing up. Fast forward 6 hours later... I couldn't figure out why it was working in another test project until I saw that my main project needs the P3D in order to be able to use Syphon. My test project was not using the P3D renderer and it works there.
So now that I figured out why it wouldn't work, does anyone have any ideas on how to use this font AND Syphon? Or why this font won't render the emojis in P3D?
