What should I do to see the color emoji like the offical sample? I'am using CentOS 6 & 7.

Hello,
Could you please attach idea.log ("Help | Show Log in...") after restarting IDE?
I changed the OpenJDK to the bundled JDK, and now it's like this:
There is a restriction to submit the whole idea.log file in our company, if you give some keyword, I can paste the relate results.
Leon,
Could you please attach screenshot from "Settings | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance"?
Could you please check the isue with 2021 EAP: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/nextversion/#section=linux ?
I just tried the 2021 EAP, the problem is still there.
Leon,
It's a known problem with system fonts that doesn't have some emoji rendered. We'll remove them from the popup to avoid empty spaces. As a workaround you may try to update system fonts.
I have no idea how to update the system fonts. Because all fonts have the same results.
And I also don't understand why only a few emojis are colorful, the other is black and white.
Leon,
As far as I know if font doesn't have proper support for emoji it results in wrong rendering (black and white or just blank). We'll try to fix it on JRE side.
