I want to load monochrome font emojis and at a later stage load colored ones

Right now if i try to load the monochrome ones and at a later stage load the colored ones, nothing happens.

I think it's because it's the exact same 'glyphs' in both. Is it possible to update the font somehow? maybe wipe the font cache? I can't find something related

[Oleksandr Karpovich [JB]]

nothing happens.

do you mean you keep seeing the monochrome emojis even after preload() the colored ones?

[Alex Styl]

yes

[Alex Styl]

oh hold on. let me double check

[Alex Styl]

double checked ,yes

Sounds right.

Perhaps you could try to replace the LocalFontFamilyResolver.current - you can provide a different resovler.

Then call preload on the new FontFamily.Resolver instance.

but that way i would lose the other cached fonts too right?

[Alex Styl]

that might not be a problem tho

[Oleksandr Karpovich [JB]]

yes, you can call preload for them again

Alex, did you end up going with the FontFamilyResolver solution? I'm trying to defer my CJK font loading, but it means any CJK strings rendered before the font loads are broken for the entire session. I thought I'd be able to just invalidate the stringResource call, but that doesn't seem to be enough.
