(I have not checked but) I believe this can be fixed by adding
"/run/current-system/profile/share/fonts" to '--with-add-fonts'
configure flag of the 'fontconfig' package.

For now I think the following recipe should work:

1. Make a file "~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf" with the following
   contents:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
    <dir>/run/current-system/profile/share/fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>
2. Run "fc-cache -fv".
