Hi Guixers, When I pipe `guix graph hello | xdot -`, the characters are displayed as squares. Got to insert `… | sed "s/Helvetica/sans/g" | …` in the pipeline. Not sure if this is a bug. Maybe my system should find a substitute for "Helvetica" automatically ? … or maybe line 241 of 'guix/graph.scm' needs a tiny correction ? ---- (format port " \"~a\" [label = \"~a\", shape = box, fontname = Helvetica];~%" id label)) ---- Best regards, Fulbert

It should definitely find a substitute automatically (Ghostscript knows
the replacements for the standard PostScript fonts).
Anyway, changing to “sans” as you suggest doesn’t hurt so I’ll make that
change.
