Hello,

Thank you for your idea.

I did not install fontconfig before, but that also did not help, still
the same monospaced everywhere. However! I ran Icecat from command line
and I saw many warnings (whydid I not do this earlier?!) and they seems
to relate to the issue I am seeing:

Some of this is Icecat extensions stuff, but those warnings clearly
relate do DejaVu Sans (although font size 9 and I set a higher one in my
userChrome.css and in Icecat preferences).

I also saw some "cairo" and "pango" in there, so I tried installing
"cairo" and "pango" using Guix. I also tried installing "libxft", as its
description sounded promising to me.

So far no luck. All these things did not help.

Is there any special command I need to run, after installing fontconfig,
for it to make fonts discoverable for Icecat?

Regards,

Zelphir
