Hi everyone,
I've recently installed Icecat on Guix System natively and it doesn't
display numbers properly - instead of numbers, there are transparent
squares without a black frame - they're just invisible globally, no
matter if on a website or in the browser's interface.
Tried changing font to GNU unifont (because it supports the whole
unicode), reinstalling Icecat (which shouldn't help anyway, because
Guix is reproducible, including bugs), guix pulling, system
reconfiguration, but nothing helps.
I have this issue only on Icecat, because ungoogled chromium and other
programs display numbers properly. 

architecture: x86_64

I saw a similar bug in the database, but it's from 2017 and it was
about font issue on other distributions, not on Guix System, so I
submitted a new report, hope that's not a problem.

I cannot replicate.
What commit did you notice this? (guix describe)
Are there any settings different from the default?

Since the beginning, not sure what commit (checked with 'guix system
list-generations'), that was:
"Generation 1 September 01 2019 01:15:51"
Probably a fresh Guix System installation from the ISO image from the
website.
Now I run the following commit:
ba7bd6c62ddaab4d5623fb149b47579e13a9e5f5
And the bug is still present

I did nothing special to Icecat, just installed a few add-ons: Umatrix,
Ublock Origin and "Dark Background and Light Text", these add-ons don't
cause any problems on Firefox for example, but removed the ".mozilla"
folder just to be sure, also I remember that displaying numbers hadn't
worked since the beginning, even before I installed the add-ons.  

As for the system, here's my configuration file:

(use-modules (gnu))

	 (file-system

Okay, I found some probably more helpful info - I run icecat in a

terminal and it throws the following warnings, don't know if they're

related to this bug though:
