Can you try the patch posted at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2020-05/msg00281.html> ?
When no fonts are installed in the common Guix profiles, applications
only "see" the font hard-coded into fontconfig, which happens to be
broken[*] since the recent 'core-updates' merge for any application
using Pango (such as GTK+).
[*] because fontconfig currently uses "gs-fonts", which are bitmap only,
and Pango no longer supports bitmap fonts[**]
