A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When using a retina display, AppleColorEmoji font render too small, the emojis only have half of the height and width as it should be.
CTFontStrike get font ref with a CGAffineTransform, the arg matrix has field a and d value 2.0:
fontRef = OS.CTFontCreateWithName(psNameRef, size, matrix);
This works for ordinary font, but not for AppleColorEmoji font. It may be a bug for feature of Core Text.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile the source code and run, a window showing emoji and plain text will show.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Emoji has same height as plain text, and take full width of it's frame.
ACTUAL -
Emoji only occupies 1/4 of its frame, leaving other region as blank space.
