Not technically not a bug because the doc says ...
2.6.2 X11 Fonts
The ‘fontconfig’ package in Guix looks for fonts in
‘$HOME/.guix-profile’ by default. Thus, to allow graphical applications
installed with Guix to display fonts, you have to install fonts with
Guix as well.
But it does seem counter-intuitive that emacs 'M-x list-fontsets' gives ...
Fontset: -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-default
Fontset: -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-standard
Fontset: -urw-Nimbus Mono L-normal-normal-normal-*-13-*-*-*-m-0-fontset-startup
... when the system package list is ...
% *Guix Package L... 5437 Guix-Output-List
[...]
emacs 24.5 out Yes The extensible, customizable, self-documenting text editor
[...]
font-dejavu 2.34 out Yes Vera font family derivate with additional characters
[...]

(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. Run "fc-cache -fv".

Indeed. 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’?
Thanks,
Ludo’.

If you’ve confirmed that passing a comma-separated list here works as
expected, then please push to ‘core-updates’.
Thank you!
