It does *not* belong in the 'propagated-inputs' of every graphical program. If we did that, we wouldn't just be making it the "default", we would be making it *mandatory*. > we are already installing fonts (non-GNU): > find -L .guix-profile -name '*otf*' > .guix-profile/lib/icecat-31.7.0/browser/extensions/spyblock@gnu.org/chrom= e/skin/fonts/CreteRound-Italic.otf > .guix-profile/lib/icecat-31.7.0/browser/extensions/spyblock@gnu.org/chrom= e/skin/fonts/CreteRound-Regular.otf > .guix-profile/lib/icecat-devel-31.7.0/bin/browser/extensions/spyblock@gnu= .org/chrome/skin/fonts/CreteRound-Italic.otf > .guix-profile/lib/icecat-devel-31.7.0/bin/browser/extensions/spyblock@gnu= .org/chrome/skin/fonts/CreteRound-Regular.otf > and more on the store That font appears to be installed as part of the SpyBlock extension, which is included by default in GNU IceCat. If you want to complain about that, the appropriate forum is . In any case, it is not installed in a place where any other program is likely to find it, and possibly not even outside of the SpyBlock extension. Mark
