In any case, troubles with fonts are to be expected under some circumstances. See `info "(guix)Application Setup"', particularly paragraph 2.6.3 X11 Fonts. Your issue also has probably little to do with linux-libre but rather the fact that an update from pre-5.18 to now brings in lots of package changes. IIRC the great Cantarell break was a rather recent event, though I'm not sure what caused it. Cheers
