Hello. I wrote a package file for Xawtv. It builds, but not runs.

$ xawtv
xawtv: Relink
`/gnu/store/88wvqp60hbrdvbp0xsqad5c6njjfshcw-libpng-1.6.28/lib/libpng16.so.16'
with
`/gnu/store/ybpgv1v7606xw7mafda66w10hiynpiw2-glibc-2.25/lib/libpthread.so.0'
for IFUNC symbol `longjmp'
xawtv: Relink
`/gnu/store/2sq8w3x8glbjlfn22im6nwwycmbdlzws-freetype-2.7.1/lib/libfreetype.so.6'
with
`/gnu/store/ybpgv1v7606xw7mafda66w10hiynpiw2-glibc-2.25/lib/libpthread.so.0'
for IFUNC symbol `longjmp'
This is xawtv-3.103, running on Linux/x86_64 (4.11.12)
vid-open-auto: using grabber/webcam device /dev/video0
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Error: Aborting: no font found


What should I do to solve this issue? How to tell xawtv about any usable
font?

xlsfonts shows plenty of ISO8859 fonts

$ xlsfonts | grep iso8859 | wc -l
1016

By the way. I have same issue with xfontsel programm:

$ xfontsel
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Error: Aborting: no font found

I don't know but I looked at nix package and I don't see anything
specific there:

  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/video/xawtv/default.nix

Perhaps you just missed some dependencies? ('fontsproto' maybe)

No, it's not fontsproto. Besides, what about xlsfonts (which works in
GuixSD) and xfontsel (which fails with same error I got with xawtv)? Does
anybody have working xfontsel in GuixSD?

What do you mean by "working"?  I've tried it and it runs
successfully...  Well it doesn't look properly, but this is probably not
what you mean, right?

I have reported about the wrong appearance:
