Can this work with dvilualatex?

[cshaa]

Motivation

I want to use the emojis in math equations in Manim. When using TeX code in Manim, it uses dvilualatex in the background to compile TeX to DVI. Then it uses dvisvgm to convert DVI to SVG, which is the format it needs.

Problem

Using dvilualatex to compile this simple TEX file

\documentclass[preview]{standalone}
\usepackage{emoji}
\begin{document}
\emoji{pineapple}
\end{document}

results in a faulty DVI file. Specifically, there's a broken reference to a font:

WARNING: font file 'NotoColorEmoji:mode=harf;script=DFLT;language=dflt;.mf' not found
processing page 1

Is there any walkaround for this?

System Info

• elementary 6, based on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
• texlive 2021
• emoji.sty version 0.2.2
• dvilualatex 1.13.2

It seems dvisvgm doesn't support embedding emoji fonts currently, see mgieseki/dvisvgm#162.
