Hi everyone,
I've recently installed Icecat on Guix System natively and it doesn't
display numbers properly - instead of numbers, there are transparent
squares without a black frame - they're just invisible globally, no
matter if on a website or in the browser's interface.
Tried changing font to GNU unifont (because it supports the whole
unicode), reinstalling Icecat (which shouldn't help anyway, because
Guix is reproducible, including bugs), guix pulling, system
reconfiguration, but nothing helps.
I have this issue only on Icecat, because ungoogled chromium and other
programs display numbers properly.
architecture: x86_64
I saw a similar bug in the database, but it's from 2017 and it was
about font issue on other distributions, not on Guix System, so I
submitted a new report, hope that's not a problem.

What commit did you notice this? (guix describe)
Are there any settings different from the default?

Since the beginning, not sure what commit (checked with 'guix system
list-generations'), that was:
"Generation 1 September 01 2019 01:15:51"
Probably a fresh Guix System installation from the ISO image from the
website.
Now I run the following commit:
ba7bd6c62ddaab4d5623fb149b47579e13a9e5f5
And the bug is still present
> Are there any settings different from the default?
I did nothing special to Icecat, just installed a few add-ons: Umatrix,
Ublock Origin and "Dark Background and Light Text", these add-ons don't
cause any problems on Firefox for example, but removed the ".mozilla"
folder just to be sure, also I remember that displaying numbers hadn't
worked since the beginning, even before I installed the add-ons.
As for the system, here's my configuration file:
(use-modules (gnu))
(use-service-modules desktop networking ssh xorg)

(locale "pl_PL.utf8")
(timezone "Europe/Warsaw")

Okay, I found some probably more helpful info - I run icecat in a
terminal and it throws the following warnings, don't know if they're
related to this bug though:

Looks like it isn't finding the "Nimbus Sans L" font. Try running
fc-list | grep "Nimbus Sans L"
and reply with the output.

I got this too when I first installed icecat.
I am not sure why, but I got no readable presentation
from icecat until I had done
guix install font-dejavu
The steps prior to that, and after were:
guix package -i nss-certs
guix upgrade icecat
guix install fontconfig
guix install libxfont
guix install font-dejavu -->> and that gave icecat font
guix install moka-icon-theme
guix install hicolor-icon-theme
guix install less
libxfont notably did nothing for me, but idk if fontconfig
was either interfered or did something good.
You might consider installing font-dejavu
After getting a usable display, there was another error produced by
an add-on, which I was able to disable from the menu at the top right.
Sorry not to remember details on that.
I generally dislike add-ons or anything else that comes preconfigured
to do any action without my consent. R_my_F, icecat ;-/
Jesse's fc-list suggestion indicates that the Nimbus fonts ought to
come in by
guix install gs-fonts
maybe that would work as well as or better than
guix install font-dejavu
Idk :)

This one helps, thanks a lot!

This doesn't help.
Anyway shouldn't the font-dejavu package be a dependency of Icecat then?

Didn't the older bug report's thread mention something about having to manually rebuild some kinda font database or cache? I remember trying that and that fixed it for me.

Hello!
I confirm that installing font-dejavu also fixed the issue for me.
Wondering if the problem arises on any system configuration setup or
if it might be influenced by, for example, the locale; which mine is
(locale "it_IT.utf8").
Blisfully,
Matias

My locale is en_US and I have had general font problems for multiple
applications, including gimp, gourmet, and icecat, so I do not think it is
necessarily related to the locale. I think a lot of it is user-level
configuration. When I use gnome tweaks to change the fonts, I find that some
fonts work as expected, but some do not. In particular, I notice that if I
remove a font, it is not removed from the list of fonts I can select.
Perhaps there's a local database of available fonts that isn't modified when
a font is uninstalled with guix?
