Nope.

Yeah, sorry. In any case my problem persists across multiple updates.

I tried 

  $ guix package -i icedtea:jdk

now and I still get

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at sun.awt.FontConfiguration.getVersion(FontConfiguration.java:1264)
	at sun.awt.FontConfiguration.readFontConfigFile(FontConfiguration.java:219)
	at sun.awt.FontConfiguration.init(FontConfiguration.java:107)
	at sun.awt.X11FontManager.createFontConfiguration(X11FontManager.java:774)

	at sun.awt.FcFontManager.<init>(FcFontManager.java:35)
	at sun.awt.X11FontManager.<init>(X11FontManager.java:57)

I checked the source code it uses and it turns out it tries to load a file

  ${java.home}/lib/fontconfig.${os.name}.${os.version}

where $ is an abreviation for System.getProperty.

I ran a Java app I wrote which does this System.getProperty so I'm sure what the values are.

They are:

		$java.home = /gnu/store/6ln2p3ynmymdvnqh3lf87hdyip0p3wdm-icedtea-3.0.1-jdk/jre
		$os.name = Linux
		$os.version = 4.6.2-gnu

However, /gnu/store/6ln2p3ynmymdvnqh3lf87hdyip0p3wdm-icedtea-3.0.1-jdk/jre does not contain any fontconfig* files.

Hmm... not sure how it's supposed to find any fonts, then.

And indeed, 

  $strace -f java A 2>&1 |grep /fontconfig

gives:
