At least not with xfd(1) because it shows the same allergic reaction as
xterm:
,----
| $ xfd -fa 'Noto Color Emoji'
| X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal
Xlib length error)
| Major opcode of failed request: 139 (RENDER)
| Minor opcode of failed request: 20 (RenderAddGlyphs)
| Serial number of failed request: 226
| Current serial number in output stream: 484
