Cantarell font with the gnome desktop interface

Cantarell font with the gnome desktop interface

[Christophe Pisteur]

Hello,
Since I use a profile based on kernel 5.18, the cantarell font is not
available in the gnome desktop interface (gnome-tweak / fonts): the
cantarell font is not listed in the list of available interface fonts.
When I revert to a profile based on a 5.17 kernel, the cantarell font
is available in the gnome desktop interface (and selected by default).
What can I do to find the cantarell font with a profile based on kernel
5.18?
Thank you
Christophe

I checked in my system (guix system 3f17158, kernel 5.18.12), and saw the same: No font appears selected in GNOME Tweaks. That seems like a bug to me.

As a workaround, I did the following:

1. guix install font-abattis-cantarell
2. fc-cache -rv (see https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Application-Setup.html#X11-Fonts)

Then, launch GNOME Tweaks again and cantarell should be selected.

3. Reload GNOME Shell (press Alt+F2, type the letter r in the command box, and press Enter)

After this, the boldish font in the shell should change.
