After running 'guix pull' followed by 'guix package -u', the UI text for the
menus on 'drracket', and 'emacs' started displaying like it was missing the
correct encoding, essentially, boxes with four numbers each (see attached image
of drracket.).
I have done the troubleshooting, and from what I can tell, it **might** have to
do something to do with the change of the 'glibc-utf8-locales' and
'glibc-locales' from version 2.29 to version 2.31.
I tried installing the older version (2.29) in addition to the 2.31, but that
did not seem to fix the issue.
The issue can be observed between generations 22 and 23 in the attached
generations.txt file
I tried to replicate that by installing the older versions of both packages in
generations 31 and 32, but that does not seem to fix the issue, which tells me
I am missing something.
I went on the IRC channel to ask about, and was asked to run 'sudo rm -rf
/var/cache/fontconfig; fc-cache -rv' which I did, but that did not resolve the
issue either.
I've also tried removing most packages with GNU Guix and reinstalling, but the
issue persists.
All this running on Ubuntu 20.04:
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Release: 20.04
