Hi,

I'm trying to replace most of the Arch packages on my laptop with
nixpkgs.  That works quite well except that X applications can't find
any fonts if FONTCONFIG_FILE or FONTCONFIG_DIR doesn't point to the
local fontconfig setup (which is /etc/fonts, managed by pacman).

nix.sh used to set FONTCONFIG_FILE:

    https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/591aab7e2166f1c7208cccdda7ce50c3c362f12b


but doesn't do it any more so I'm probably missing something?

Thanks,

		Petar Bogdanovic
