Thanks Niall,
fontconfig was indirectly installed so fc-cache wasn't in my
.guix-profile/bin instead it was using fc-cache on arch.
running:
guix package -i fontconfig
fc-cache -vfr
Fixed it.
Still curious on why it picked up Hack but not DejaVu, I assume it was
using Hack install on arch and not Guix.
