Hello all.
I set my system to Japanese - I think properly. I've set (locale
"ja_JP.utf8") in system.scm and installed some CJK fonts. Then ran
'fc-cache -f'.
Now all is set fine - even GRUB boot menu is in Japanese, all apps
render Japanese text properly - however the gdm login screen is set to
Japanese too, apparently it displays a Japanese welcome message -
however all the characters are just rendered as boxes - meaning gdm is
using some font that doesn't have the Japanese glyphs.
Anyone have an idea how I could fix this?

Hi Shirokuma,
I had the same problem and was told on IRC how to solve it.

It may be necessary to recreate the font cache after taking the above
actions.
For reproducibility, I have added the following settings to the service
config.
(operating-system
(services
(append
(list ...
(extra-special-file "/var/lib/gdm/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf"
(plain-file "gdm-fonts.conf"
"<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
<dir>/run/current-system/profile/share/fonts/</dir>
</fontconfig>
")))
%desktop-services))
...
(Sorry, I forgot to add CC, so I resent it.)
