Hi guix,
I have a profile with icecat, fontconfig and basic fonts, but the
browser seems not to find any font. It displays only
numbers-in-squares placeholders.
```
$ icecat
(/gnu/store/x9c8vysvvivx4bc1xa4gz7sl37y3i2k6-icecat-60.3.0-gnu1/lib/icecat/.icecat-real:3240):

This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could

```
Utilities from fontconfig (in the same profile) seem to work fine:
```
$ fc-match 'DejaVu Sans 9.9990234375'
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
$ fc-list | grep DejaVuSans.ttf
~/.guix-profile/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSans.ttf
```
Any idea? How can I test if the issue is with pango or icecat or
somewhere else? The "host" distro is Alpine.
Best,
