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 :) HTH [...] > > > > Jan Wielkiewicz > > > > > > > Looks like it isn't finding the "Nimbus Sans L" font.
