Why can't Chrome just fix its text rendering to use the system fonts? Emoji works natively in OS X, but not in Chrome.

seems like that issue is being worked on: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=62435

Chrome has similar problems on Windows. For example, the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols work in Firefox, Internet Explorer, and even Notepad, but not in Chrome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Alphanumeric_Symbo... http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=109844

Same for iOS. Google Voice app won't render emoji. Why?
