I install fonts into a special profile. All you need to do is edit your
"~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf" file. Mine looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<dir>~/.guix-profiles/fonts/fonts/share/fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>
This allows ‘fc-cache’ and similar commands to find fonts from a
non-standard directory.
