On my debian system this means: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf ln -f -s /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Then I get to chose for example LucidaTypewriter as a font in various applications (Firefox, Emacs) etc, and of course there are other nice bitmap fonts too, and - old-school again: I often find them clearer/easier to read than modern anti-aliased ones. Now on my new guix system I try to do the same: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- cd .guix-profile/etc/fonts/conf.d/ ls -lh 69-unifont.conf lrwxrwxrwx 2 root root 105 Jan 1 1970 69-unifont.conf -> /gnu/store/k6zs6zabhfybh6aphc4988wc2fsyk5hh-fontconfig-2.13.1/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/69-unifont.conf --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- and I don't want to type that /gnu/store/k6zs6zabhfybh6aphc4988wc2fsyk5hh-fontconfig-2.13.1... thing, thus dirname, and readlink to the rescue: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- echo $(dirname $(readlink -f 69-unifont.conf)) /gnu/store/k6zs6zabhfybh6aphc4988wc2fsyk5hh-fontconfig-2.13.1/share/fontconfig/conf.avail echo $(dirname $(readlink -f 69-unifont.conf))/70-yes-bitmaps.conf /gnu/store/k6zs6zabhfybh6aphc4988wc2fsyk5hh-fontconfig-2.13.1/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- but... --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ln -s $(dirname $(readlink -f 69-unifont.conf))/70-yes-bitmaps.conf . ln: failed to create symbolic link './70-yes-bitmaps.conf': Read-only file system --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- on guix this is a read-only file system. :-( And the guix manual is not all too verbose about this in section 10.8.6 (X Window, p 254) - or at least: I haven't found the relevant section, how set such a link / configuration.
