I think it should be up to the user to choose which fonts to install
(there are other things that don’t display correctly by default.)

IMO we should address this by adding a section in the manual to explain
how to deal with fonts for X11 applications, and to list a few useful
font packages.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

"Our goal" ... "promotion and tight integration of GNU components"
(http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#GNU-Distribution),
so we should use GNU FreeFont as default (with the technical benefit
about IPA)

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/chrome/skin/fonts/CreteRound-Italic.otf
.guix-profile/lib/icecat-31.7.0/browser/extensions/spyblock@gnu.org/chrome/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

This is a different matter, as these fonts are shipped as parts of the
icecat package and not provided as an input by us.

Agreed.

Our default set of fonts belongs, if anywhere, in the 'packages' field
of our example OS descriptions.

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*.

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 <bug-gnuzilla@gnu.org>.  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.
