I got this too when I first installed icecat.
I am not sure why, but I got no readable presentation
from icecat until I had done
guix install font-dejavu
The steps prior to that, and after were:
guix package -i nss-certs
guix upgrade icecat
guix install fontconfig
guix install libxfont
guix install font-dejavu -->> and that gave icecat font
guix install moka-icon-theme
guix install hicolor-icon-theme
guix install less
libxfont notably did nothing for me, but idk if fontconfig
was either interfered or did something good.
You might consider installing font-dejavu
After getting a usable display, there was another error produced by
an add-on, which I was able to disable from the menu at the top right.
Sorry not to remember details on that.
I generally dislike add-ons or anything else that comes preconfigured
to do any action without my consent. R_my_F, icecat ;-/
Jesse's fc-list suggestion indicates that the Nimbus fonts ought to
come in by
guix install gs-fonts
maybe that would work as well as or better than
guix install font-dejavu
Idk :)
