I've had similar issues and then consulted the manual, where I saw the following snippet: > After installing fonts you may have to refresh the font cache to use > them in applications. The same applies when applications installed > via Guix do not seem to find fonts. To force rebuilding of the font > cache run ‘fc-cache -rv’. It seems the issue is a stale fontconfig cache. Specifically, the italic versions of Cantarell seem to cause this behaviour (as Cantarell was updated along with everything else in Gnome 3.30). I fixed it on my machine by running ‘fc-cache -rv’ both as user to fix local caches and as super-user to fix system caches. Perhaps this also overlaps with [1].
