I run guix gc for the first time since when I installed GuixSD

I remember there was a bug for which pieces that should not be garbage
collected get garbage collected anyway

I suppose I am running into that

My fonts are completely messed up, here are a couple of pictures of my
terminal

Also, building a master branch now gives me these warnings

I reinstalled the fonts that I remember I had, and also the glibc locales
thing, but that didn't help

I think I can use this installation anyway, but I believed it was relevant
to reporrt these issues here

Did run ./bootstrap and ./configure again after the garbage 
collection?  After gc, some of the references to compilers, libraries 
etc found by your original ./configure run might not be valid anymore 
(at least that's how I understand it.  has happened to me several 
times).

I have no idea about the font issue you're having, I believe that the 
fontconfig references bug has been solved.  Did you reconfigure the 
system recently?  (What happens if you reconfigure now?)

I don’t know if the problems you describe relate to it, but the bug¹
you’re referring to was fixed last month in master.  If you upgrade to a
less-than-a-month-old GuixSD you shouldn’t have this problem.

Did you try upgrading?

Thanks,

I did upgrade right now

I also removed fontconfig, gc'ed and reinstalled fontconfig

The terminal is still messed up

Maybe I should remove te fonts, gc and ten reinstall them ?

Let me see...

Broken fonts in gnome-terminal

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello,

Not sure what you mean here.  Fontconfig cannot be removed from
/gnu/store without first removing all the graphical applications in
there (almost all them depend on Fontconfig indirectly).

Did you try refreshing the font cache using “fc-cache -f”?

According to the image you posted

  https://imgur.com/a/0l89F
  https://imgur.com/a/UMayj

you’re using gnome-terminal.  How did you install it?  Are you using
‘gnome-desktop-service’ on GuixSD, or something else?

If you’re using ‘gnome-desktop-service’ on GuixSD, can you reproduce the
problem if you build a VM of your system, with ‘guix system vm’, and run
the terminal in there?

Ah I didn't considerr this. I installed fontconffig in my profile because
without it Emacs would mess up the fonts.

I didn't consider that something else depends on it too.

I hadn't. Now I have and it seems it doesn't help

I pressed send by mistake

This is the command line I used to create the image

guix system vm-image /etc/vm-config-desktop.scm \
   --image-size=30GB \
   --share=$HOME=/exchange

and this is the command line I used to run it (ater having copied the image
out o the store)

qemu-system-x86_64 \
 -net user,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22 \
 -net nic,model=virtio \
 -enable-kvm -m 4096 /home/catonano/projects/qemu-image

Good.  Could it be that there’s an issue with GNOME settings or
something similar on your system?

Did you do anything special when the breakage happened?

Did anyone else experience a similar problem?

If the VM doesn’t show the problem and if “fc-cache -f” doesn’t help,
then I don’t know what could be causing the problem.

I changed the settings. I moved to system font. And that improved thhe
sitation
Then I moved to Adobe Source (the same ont I use in Emacs) and that made
the situation way better!

This is the new terminal
