Using color fonts on the web

Browser support for color fonts is still evolving, but exists in Firefox and Microsoft Edge (IE), and we expect more browser manufacturers will adopt the format before long. In browsers that lack color font support, they will fall back to regular monochrome glyphs. For more info, check the following links:

Using color fonts in desktop programs

Color fonts like Trajan Color Concept and EmojiOne Color will appear just like typical fonts in your programs’ font menus — but they may not display their full potential, since many programs don’t yet have full support for the color components.

When an application lacks color font support, you’ll see the plain black version of the glyphs as a fallback. (If it sounds to you like this makes them challenging to use, you’d be right — which is one reason why Trajan Color is still considered a concept font.)
