Hello, Thank you for your idea.
I did not install fontconfig before, but that also did not help, still the same monospaced everywhere. However! I ran Icecat from command line and I saw many warnings (whydid I not do this earlier?!) and they seems to relate to the issue I am seeing: ~~~~~~~~ 1557016986018 addons.webextension.https-everywh...@eff.org WARN Please specify whether you want browser_style or not in your browser_action options.

I also saw some "cairo" and "pango" in there, so I tried installing "cairo" and "pango" using Guix. I also tried installing "libxft", as its description sounded promising to me. So far no luck. All these things did not help. Is there any special command I need to run, after installing fontconfig, for it to make fonts discoverable for Icecat?
