Probably, one will still need to install fontconfig. Maybe you could try out if emacs works for you without fontconfig. It did, to my surprise, for me. I just upgraded my profile and remove gs-fonts, and Emacs still displays properly. So unless there’s an evil cache somewhere, I’d say that

• Guix must be usable with the old Guile 2.0.5, since that’s what some distros provide. At the GHM I realized that some people had weird bugs with that Guile, notably in the substituter. I fixed a couple of bugs, but there may be others around. So, to 2.0.5 users: please run ‘make
