Guix,
Just leaving this here so I don't forget.
Sometimes fonts break, and after a few frustrating, impotent runs
of ‘fc-cache -rv’ you notice:
/var/cache/fontconfig: not cleaning unwritable cache directory
Deleting this stale (root-owned) directory makes fonts fun again.
Happens about once or twice a month here.
Kind regards,
T G-R

I believe Efraim fixed it with commit
405c0c947cfd59d7bfb81052545cd635970d2d0c.
Closing!
