I tried to build guix from git, when I noticed the failed build with:
Error: Could not set character size
make[2]: *** [Makefile:7547: doc/images/service-graph.png] Error 1
I am following this manual page:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Building-from-Git.html
... and cloned the latest version of guix today using:
git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
My guess is that some of the latest commits breaks the guix build.

First off, use <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Building-from-Git.html> instead. It documents master instead of the last release tag.
It's not going to fix your build, but it at least uses a container instead of a regular guix shell, and drops the obsolete (but harmless) localstatedir option.

I doubt it, although I can't reproduce your error so can't say for sure what did. A fresh Guix checkout builds fine here, even using the 'old' instructions.
Try the new manual in a new checkout, it might just work.

…I mean, in the sense that the instructions you followed are not 'wrong', AFAIK. If it fixes anything that's a side-effect.
