Subject: Fontconfig does not find fonts in non-default profiles

The fontconfig package has this bit:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(string-append "--with-add-fonts="
  "~/.guix-profile/share/fonts,"
  "/run/current-system/profile/share/fonts")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If I understand correctly, fonts can only be installed at the system
level or in ~/.guix-profile.

Is there a way to install fonts in a non-default profile?
If not, it would be nice to implement it.  Can we use an environment variable?
