--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define (serialize-fontconfig-configuration config)
  (define start-of-fontconfig "<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>")

  (define end-of-fontconfig "</fontconfig>\n")

  (mixed-text-file
   "fonts.conf"
   start-of-fontconfig
   (serialize-configuration config home-fontconfig-configuration-fields)
   end-of-fontconfig))

(define (add-fontconfig-config-file user-config)
  `(("fontconfig/fonts.conf"
     ,(match user-config
          ((? home-fontconfig-configuration? user-config)
           (serialize-fontconfig-configuration user-config))
        ((? file-like? user-config) user-config)))))
