Would be nice to see if this can be built from source.

It has to be installed in ~/.guix-profile because that=E2=80=99s where Guix=
=E2=80=99s
Fontconfig looks for font (I assume you=E2=80=99re talking about a
Guix-installed Emacs.)

Maybe you need to run =E2=80=98fc-cache -vfr=E2=80=99 (from Fontconfig) to =
update the
font cache?

The best would be to build them from source, if possible.  Otherwise
there can be several origins listed in =E2=80=98native-inputs=E2=80=99.

Thanks!
