## Steps to reproduce

The following steps assume you are using Guix System with GNOME desktop.

1. Open the command prompt (ALT+F2)
2. Run gnome-font-viewer

## Expected result

GNOME Fonts starts and displays the fonts available (system and user fonts?) with their corresponding names and thumbnails.

## Unexpected result

+ GNOME Fonts starts, but the font view is empty and there is no visual sign of content being loaded.
+ The fonts are listed after waiting for about 20 seconds.
+ The fonts have no preview thumbnails (I heard Christopher Baines was looking into this particular issue)

## System information

GNOME 3.34.2
GNOME Fonts (gnome-font-viewer) 3.30.0
GNU Guix 5b785b2
On Hard Disk Drive
