[Nix-dev] Help Emacs find non-global fonts

Hi,

I'm trying to add fonts to the closure of my Emacs store path so that I
can use them from Emacs. This is useful because the `all-the-icons`
Emacs package depends on some particular fonts to work properly:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/19152

Nevertheless, fonts added to propagatedBuildInputs are not found by
Emacs. The only way I found to make Emacs recognize the fonts is to add
them to NixOS' fonts.fonts.

Best,
