Good questions! I drafted a section on how to use Guix on another GNU/Linux distro, and these are the typical things that need to be answered in that section: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-05/msg00282.html Regarding fonts, most GUIs do X11 client-side rendering and rely on Fontconfig. So to get fonts working in a GTK+ or Qt application, for instance, you need to install packages such as ‘gs-fonts’ and ‘font-dejavu’; then you need to ‘guix package -i fontconfig’ and run ‘fc-cache -f’ to update the font cache. I suspect this may have the property of unregistering fonts that were installed on the host distro. Could you report about it? I don’t know about #3. Anyone? Thanks, Ludo’.
