Hi. There’s Flatpak can't access system fonts and icons · Issue #119433 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub a fix for flatpak cursor theme and fonts. But I cannot use it in my config without error: infinite recursion encountered. Can someone explain how to edit my .nix files to use that fix?
My config is here GitHub - knightpp/nixos-cfg at flatpak-fix, please note, I did not write the config by myself, and I’m still learning Nix.
I wonder how can I access config.fonts.fonts or config.fonts.fonts outside of NixOS modules? I do not see the necessary arguments anywhere else, so I tried to use modules but get an error when I use workarounds.flatpak.enable = true
# nixos-rebuild dry-build
error: infinite recursion encountered

Here’s module’s code (or see GitHub page)
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
let
cfg = config.workarounds.flatpak;
inherit (lib) types mkOption mkIf;
in
{
options.workarounds.flatpak = {
enable = mkOption {
description = "Enable workarounds for flatpak";
type = types.bool;
default = false;
};
# fonts = mkOption {
# description = "config.fonts.fonts package";
# type = types.package;
# };
# systemPath = mkOption {
# description = "config.system.path package";
# type = types.package;
# };
};
config = mkIf cfg.enable {
# Allow flatpak to read system icons
system.fsPackages = [ pkgs.bindfs ];
fileSystems =
let
mkRoSymBind = path: {
device = path;
fsType = "fuse.bindfs";
options = [ "ro" "resolve-symlinks" "x-gvfs-hide" ];
};
# aggregatedFonts = pkgs.buildEnv {
# name = "system-fonts";
# paths = cfg.fonts;
# pathsToLink = [ "/share/fonts" ];
# };
in
{
# Create an FHS mount to support flatpak host icons/fonts
"/usr/share/icons" = mkRoSymBind (config.system.path + "/share/icons");
# "/usr/share/fonts" = mkRoSymBind (aggregatedFonts + "/share/fonts");
};
};
