Not technically not a bug because the doc says ...

2.6.2 X11 Fonts

‘$HOME/.guix-profile’ by default.  Thus, to allow graphical applications
installed with Guix to display fonts, you have to install fonts with
Guix as well.

Fontset: -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-default
Fontset: -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-standard
Fontset: -urw-Nimbus Mono L-normal-normal-normal-*-13-*-*-*-m-0-fontset-startup
