Summary: 
After doing a guix pull; sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm on a fresh 1.1.0 install via iso the default font for all xfce displays breaks. Each character in menu, applications, and terminals is a box with four dots (no character available). 
If I switch from generation 2 (reconfigure) to generation 1 (iso) fonts work again. 

Workaround: manually adding fonts-dejavu to /etc/config.scm packages and reconfiguring fixes issue 




Comments: 


gdm font on login screen is ok through all generations 


Test Environment: 


Fresh install of iso using: 


# Create vm 

cd /data//vms 
mkdir guixFirst 
cd guixFirst 
qemu-img create -f qcow2 guix-system.img 50G 
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096 -smp 2 -enable-kvm \ 
-net nic,model=virtio -net user -boot menu=on,order=d \ 
-device virtio-blk,drive=myhd \ 
-drive if=none,file=guix-system.img,id=myhd \ 
-drive media=cdrom,file=/data/isos/guix/guix-system-install-1.1.0.x86_64-linux.iso 

# Run the vm 
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096 -smp 2 -enable-kvm -boot menu=on,order=c \ 
-net nic,model=virtio -net user,hostfwd=tcp::60022-:22 \ 
-device virtio-blk,drive=myhd \ 
-drive if=none,file=guix-system.img,id=myhd

This roots in the fact that Pango (the font rendering library used by
GTK+) no longer supports bitmap fonts:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/issues/386

We should probably provide a default font in %base-packages to work
around this problem, or graft TrueType/OpenType fonts onto the
'gs-fonts' package which is available to most applications (but
unfortunately only contains bitmap fonts..).

I don't have a clear idea of what a proper solution here would be,
feedback wanted.
