## Steps to reproduce
The following steps assume you are using Guix System with GNOME desktop.
1. Open the command prompt (ALT+F2)
2. Run gnome-font-viewer
## Expected result
GNOME Fonts starts and displays the fonts available (system and user fonts?) with their corresponding names and thumbnails.
## Unexpected result
+ GNOME Fonts starts, but the font view is empty and there is no visual sign of content being loaded.
+ The fonts are listed after waiting for about 20 seconds.
+ The fonts have no preview thumbnails (I heard Christopher Baines was looking into this particular issue)
## System information
GNOME 3.34.2
GNOME Fonts (gnome-font-viewer) 3.30.0
GNU Guix 5b785b2
On Hard Disk Drive

Hey,
I've just pushed the fix I worked on for thumbnails [1].
1: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=540893a8ccef41436a1c00ae268f74219f9ab220
Could you guix pull, guix upgrade gnome-font-viewer, remove
~/.cache/thumbnails/fail/ and then re-test?
Thanks,
Chris

I just upgraded and thumbnails seem to be mostly fixed. That is, most of the thumbnails are displayed correctly. Some fonts have no thumbnail at all (Noto fonts like Noto Sans Armenian, Noto Sans Batak, Noto Sans Bengali, ...). And Source Han fonts have a placeholder icon (a blue, lowercase "a" in a white sheet).
The slowness issue seems to be a bug in GNOME Fonts (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-font-viewer/-/issues/30).
What should we do with this bug report? Close it or leave it open until it is fixed upstream (I'd prefer the latter)?

That's good, I wonder if there are corner cases with the thumbnail
generation that still need addressing.

Sure, it's up to you.

I'll leave it open then. Thanks for the patch, Chris.
