Please see if it is a real issue or just my misunderstandings. 1. In , it saids "Essential font packages include gs-fonts, font-dejavu, and font-gnu-freefont.". But I think "font-gnu-freefont" has been renamed to "font-gnu-freefont-ttf", so this has to be changed. 2. In , it said "To that end, all the command-line tools can be used even if you have not run make install.". However, in the case of "guix pull", it is not true. Even if "guix pull" does run properly, it will not update the source tree you have downloaded, so you end up with running the original compiled version of Guix. Obviously, I was a victim :) Does these sound like problems to you? Cheers, Alex
