Segoe UI Emoji is an emoji font designed for Windows 11, known for its adorable style. The font file is named seguiemj.ttf. However, it doesn't seem to be available for direct download. To allow Linux PC users (like myself) to enjoy these charming emojis on Linux systems, we need to find a way to extract this font file.
Since this font is distributed with Windows 11, we can download the Windows 11 ISO image and attempt to extract the seguiemj.ttf file from it.
- Use the command
7z x /path/to/ISOto extract the ISO image.
Windows packages resource files and font files in /sources/install.wim. To extract files from the WIM archive, we need to install wimlib.
- Use
wimlib-imagex dir /path/to/install.wim 1to view the file list of the image with Index 1 in the WIM archive. (The WIM file may contain multiple versions of images, so the index must be specified.) - We find that
seguiemj.ttfis located under the path/Windows/Fonts/.
