Sourcing the profile would define XDG_DATA_DIRS, which is required for
font display.  Installing fonts and running fc-cache may have provided
fonts in ~/.guix-profile/share/fonts, which is part of XDG_DATA_DIRS.

This is a known issue (which I experience when running Icecat in a
container) that hopefully can be addressed by someone who knows a bit
more than me about the proper way to fix the problem. :)  It's a problem
for people on foreign distros.

So you mean that both vda and sda are on Digital Ocean's servers or that
vda is on Digital Ocean and that sda is on you own local machine?

I solved it by either,

* installing bunch of new fonts
* running fc-cache -f
* re-sourcing .guix-profile/etc/profile
* hash guix

or some combination of the above.

Now gotta kill and reload all those VNC connections to the server in case 
sourcing the profile somehow did it (not likely)...

Custom fonts have been disabled my default I persume. Usually in
IceCat, if you create new tab, it would show list of options. Try
enabling the custom fonts. ☺

Icecat doesn't display any text

2019-07-09 Thread TK
It substitutes anything textual on a page with boxes. I am running  a hybrid 
system CentOS 7/ Guix package manager.

guix --version returns this string:
guix (GNU Guix) 710f027765079db7e5a9ea31faedf42e8748600c!

I have the usual font- packages installed and other X11 apps have no such 
problems (e.g. chromium)
