I have an issue with installing fonts through Guix or simply some packages in general. The issue is, that the packages do not show up on command line, when I do a search via either of the following 2 commands: 1. guix search (my_package_name_here) 2. guix package -s (my_package_name_here) An example: On https://guix.gnu.org/packages/F/page/2/ I can see, that there is "font-fira-mono" and "font-fira-sans" and similar. However, when I search for "font" using the above commands, for example with `guix package -s font` merely a single package shows up: `r-extrafont`. Nothing more. This is weird, because I also installed some fonts already via and none of those shows up. However, when I pipe the output into `less` as suggested by the search result text, suddenly more packages show up. What I would like is, that I can decide myself, whether the output should go through less and still see all results, even when not piping into `less`. And then there is the strange issue, that I cannot install font packages: `guix package -i font-fira-code font-fire-mono font-fire-sans` Gives: `guix package: error: font-fire-mono: unknown package` Although it is listed in the results when piping into `less`! What? How does this make sense? Can someone explain this to me? Is my Guix installation buggy? I never did anything weird to it, only ever used the Guix CLI commands to interact with it.
