Thanks Niall, fontconfig was indirectly installed so fc-cache wasn't in my .guix-profile/bin instead it was using fc-cache on arch.
running: guix package -i fontconfig fc-cache -vfr Fixed it. Still curious on why it picked up Hack but not DejaVu, I assume it was using Hack install on arch and not Guix. 2017-08-21 1:26 GMT-07:00 Niall Dooley <dool...@gmail.com>: > Try installing fontconfig if not installed already and then refresh the > font cache with > > fc-cache -f > > or > > fc-cache -vfr > > Relevant past discussions: > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-11/msg00477.html > > <http://goog_2020154044> > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2017-05/msg00021.html > > <http://goog_2020154045> > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2017-02/msg00020.html > > HTH, > > Niall > > Niall > > On 21 August 2017 at 05:06, Fredrik Salomonsson <platt...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hi Guix, >> >> Working on setting up a dual boot with Guix+Arch Linux and GuixSD.
