[pacajlps] Hinting emoji

Vector graphics are of course wonderful for fonts because they can be scaled to any size, but we need a little bit more information: location of baseline, shape modifications for hinting for rasterizing to small sizes, where horizontally combining accents go, probably many other things also.  The font people have figured this all out.

Inspiration was Unicode emojigeddon: inline images would almost be just fine.
