Since AI 2017 EmojiOne Color font has not been available in Black and White in Illustrator. This is a HUGE oversite by Adobe and has caused multiple issues with our production workflow (old post).

To overcome this we've had to convert EmojiOne Color font to TTF to unlock the Black and White characters hidden in the font.

Enough complaining. My question is, how do I permenently uninstall the default "EmojiOne Color" font from Illustrator?

You don't need to uninstall the color version but may install the Black and White version from here:

Thanks @Ton Frederiks. That's the first I've heard of the BW standalone version. That will be helpful. How did you know about it? Guess I've been looking in all the wrong places.

Interesting. It says it was updated 3 hours ago.

EDIT:
For scripting purposes it still returns the same font name as the default "EmojiOneColor" font. This may cause the same issues we're experiencing now since this name is used to auto-switch fonts for specific characters in a string.

I just searched for the font and stumbled on this page. Yes I saw that it was only 3 hours ago updated.

I have now both versions of EmojiOne in Illustrator and can switch between them like you change styles like Bold, Italic.

Hello @rcraighead,

Thanks for reaching out. The EmojiOne font is bundled with Illustrator, and attempting to remove it is not recommended. However, you may try the Noto Emoji Font Family by Google and let us know if it works for you: https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Emoji.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Sorry, but on thank you. We have tried Noto and it does not meet our needs. I am not asking what is recommended. I'm asking if it is possible to delete the color version of EmojiOneColor font because it is causing issues with our process.

Update:
Here is the solution we found:

The resolution is to remove the version stored inside the Adobe Illustrator app:
