Currently, fontconfig from Guix do not use '/etc/fonts/fonts.conf',
and hardcode ~/.guix-profile/share/fonts (which think is a bad idea).

Yes, as you found, some easy tricks work, I prefer:

  ln -s /path/to/fonts to ~/.local/share/fonts
  
>> 2. How to use fonts config which is outside guix?
Same as above, the system config is not used now, but
the user config (~/.config/fontconfig) should work.

>> 3. How to use gtk or qt theme similar with outside guix?
For GTK+, there have two parts: theme engines and themes.

It may not be a good idea for guix applications to use the theme engines
in your host system, but well it should work when you set some variable:

  GTK_PATH or GTK_DATA_PREFIX and GTK_EXE_PREFIX
