Sorry for the late reply. I've got a couple other guix issues
I'm
struggling to sort out recently as well.
No problem. I hope you get them resolved. I can only say that
Guix is worth it.

Does the attached patch fix your problem?
I'm a bit of a novice. Can you (or someone else) explain how I
apply this
patch file?
You'd clone the Guix git repository from Savannah, ‘git am’ the
patch e-mail in question, then follow the instructions in section
14.2 (Running Guix Before It Is Installed) of the manual using
‘./pre-inst-env guix package -i font-terminus’ to install the
patched package.
However, you won't need to do any of that today. :-)
I was already on the fence about just pushing this change anyway,
and remembering the existence of outputs sealed the deal. I
always forget that they exist. Installing ‘font-terminus’ still
gives you the upstream selection, but could you
$ guix pull
$ guix package -i font-terminus:pcf-8bit
$ fc-cache -fr
verify that the above command worked:
$ fc-list | grep ter-116b
…are/fonts/terminus/ter-116b.pcf.gz: Terminus:style=Bold
and see if your font situation improves?
If Terminus is actually unusable without those files, I'll add
them back to :out.
Kind regards,
T G-R
