Hi There,

Icecat doesnt show/identify any number (seems to be) inside itself. 
(Check the uploaded images)

Is this on Guix System or on another distro?

In the latter case, see:

  https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Application-Setup.html#X11-Fonts

only reporting issues against guix in its own distro (guixsd). (i will 
mention if im reporting guix when used on another distro)

https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Application-Setup.html#X11-Fonts

done this step:

```
guix install fontconfig
fc-cache -rv
```

same issue.

Weird.  I just tried in an VM (gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl, to
which I added ‘icecat’ in the ‘packages’ field) and here everything’s
fine AFAICS (screenshot attached).

I wonder if it’s about missing font packages or something.

I found <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43293>, which was about the same
issue; the solution was to install ‘font-dejavu’.

I can reproduce the problem with the OS config you posted at
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47687>.  With that Xfce-only config,
/run/current-system/profile lacks ‘font-dejavu’, hence the problem.

The config in ‘vm-image.tmpl’ does not provide ‘font-dejavu’ but it
provides ‘font-bitstream-vera’, which does the job.

‘font-dejavu’ is propagated by the ‘gnome’ package, which is why there’s
no such problem when using ‘gnome-desktop-service-type’.  The solution
is to make sure one of these fonts is always installed by default.

The attached patch does that.  I’ll go ahead and push it if there are no
objections.

Thanks for reporting the issue!

Ludo’.
