[Github-comments] [geany/geany-plugins] Splitting a snowman in half crashes Geany with Spell Check (inserting a space before Unicode VARIATION SELECTOR-16) (#1041)

Ha, thanks. After installing the Noto fonts it's also colored for me. It's even more fun now since you can set the crsor in the middle of the snowman (I'm still new to this fancy Unicode Emoji stuff :D).

```
$ fc-match -s monospace | grep -i emoji
NotoColorEmoji.ttf: "Noto Color Emoji" "Regular"
```

But Geany still doesn't crash.

So, the colored variant seems not relevant for the crash.
The remaining least common denominator seems to be Fedora (also used in #1022 and #1036). Even if, as @b4n said, one user solved it by self-compiling.
- either the tests of this user were incomplete or there other other changes involved which led to the different results
- the Geany binary compiled for the Fedora package behaves differently than a self-compiled Geany binary on the same system (thnking of different set of compiler options or something like this)

At least the second theory could be easily verified / disproved.
@hroncok could you build Geany manually (ala `./configure && make && make install`)?
