OK, apparently it's broken by default since you all have this problem. I think I just have some settings on my system that make it work properly. For example, I start X server with all font paths that I need (I don't use SLIM), not sure if it relates. "xset -q" gives me: ... Font Path: <profile>truetype,<profile>X11/misc,<profile>X11/100dpi,<profile>X11/75dpi,built-ins where <profile> is my guix profile with fonts. Also I don't use 'font-alias' package, instead I use a "pure" modification of it as described at <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2015-12/msg00022.html>. But, well, I have no idea why xterm menus work for me :-) -- Alex
