Hi, I try this code on windows 11 with intellij idea, only got the grey output.  
Is this a difference between the OS I use?

Here is the code & pom.xml

```java
import processing.core.PApplet;

public class VerifyConfig extends PApplet {
    @Override
    public void settings() {
        super.settings();
        size(1000, 1000,FX2D);
    }

    @Override
    public void setup() {
        textFont(createFont("Segoe UI Emoji", 22));
        text("hello, world☺", 50, 150);

        textFont(createFont("Wingdings", 44));
        int init = 0x1F600;
        for (int i = 0; i < 80; i++) {
            String s = new String(Character.toChars(init+i));
            text(s, 60 + 60*(i%10), 100 + 60*(i/10));  
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PApplet.runSketch(new String[]{"test"}, new VerifyConfig());
    }
}

```
