Hi Jorge!

Should be fine.

Because Guix does not know about files outside the store or the home
directory. This is by design.
Another way to change this behaviour is to add /usr/share/fonts to
~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
<fontconfig>
<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Hope this helps! :)
