Yes, as you found, some easy tricks work, I prefer: ln -s /path/to/fonts to ~/.local/share/fonts >> 2. How to use fonts config which is outside guix? Same as above, the system config is not used now, but the user config (~/.config/fontconfig) should work. >> 3. How to use gtk or qt theme similar with outside guix? For GTK+, there have two parts: theme engines and themes. It may not be a good idea for guix applications to use the theme engines in your host system, but well it should work when you set some variable: GTK_PATH or GTK_DATA_PREFIX and GTK_EXE_PREFIX
