How to switch back to monochrome icons/emojis in i3 bar / blocks? Weird colorful font issue!

[therealmaxmoon]

I really like the i3 blocks status bar with a few colors.

But after installing (full) LaTeX, all icons/emojis are really colorful, now, which I don't like.

How can I go back to the beautiful monichrome icons without uninstalling LaTeX?

In my i3 config in the bar block, I have the following:

font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline, FontAwesome 12

Thanks a lot for your help.

Same after running the following script to enable emojis:

#!/bin/bash
sudo pacman -S noto-fonts noto-fonts-emoji ttf-liberation ttf-droid adobe-source-sans-fonts ttf-dejavu
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/ttf-ms-fonts.git
cd ttf-ms-fonts
makepkg -si
cd ..
rm -rf ttf-ms-fonts

I have the following: font pango:FontAwesome 10, DejaVu Sans Mono 8, monospace 8

I don't understand why this should be a solution, because you install a lot of fonts from the Arch repo, after that you install one font from the AUR repo (I still find AUR questionable, because the last time I checked, it wasn't secure [but this was years ago]) and I somehow don't know how Microsoft fonts (if ms stands for that) could help here?

The issue is that I had monochrome bar before installing those fonts. I still need these fonts, but I do want the bar as before.

This issue still exists :( I couldn't find a solution.
