the intended recipient.

### Cairo user-font With Colour Bitmap Always Comes Out Black
The [Evince] PDF viewer uses [Poppler] to render PDFs, which in turn uses
[Cairo]. Emoji embedded in a PDF using a PDF Type 3 font always come out as a
black silhouette instead of the colour image when viewed in Evince do to a
limitation in Cairo's user-font functionality.

* <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/issues/729>
**Criteria:** Implement support for colour user-fonts in Cairo, resulting in
the Cairo issue being closed as completed.
