Hi all,

I=E2=80=99m a bit at a loss right now with respect to how to make fonts =
available
to system services.

I=E2=80=99m running a service that uses rsvg-convert (from package =
librsvg) to
raster some SVG graphics. However, it appears that the default fonts
are missing some Unicode character.

It seems that I can make fonts available in my user profile by =
installing
the corresponding font package, and those would be available to =
rsvg-convert
via fontconfig via ~/.guix-profile/share/fonts. But how would I do the
same for a service?

Thanks,
Robert
