(I have not checked but) I believe this can be fixed by adding "/run/current-system/profile/share/fonts" to '--with-add-fonts' configure flag of the 'fontconfig' package. For now I think the following recipe should work: 1. Make a file "~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf" with the following contents: [-- Attachment #2: fonts.conf --] [-- Type: text/plain, Size: 145 bytes --] <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <dir>/run/current-system/profile/share/fonts</dir> </fontconfig> [-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 34 bytes --] 2.

I realize I did this independently in e71ef7adaece7e132a5059139122b45083ea1b39. The better fix will be to rebuild Fontconfig as you suggest. Would you like to try that and apply it to ‘core-updates’?
