is on devuan ( sysvinit and openrc )

If I remember correctly we are still running xfce 4.16. Have you installed via slapt-get? Or compiled from source? Make sure group colord and user colord both exist, some useful hints here.
Regarding the font "issue", I used to keep my favorite fonts in ~/.fonts, so the argument to fc-cache will be easier to remember, but your mileage may vary. A good practice, especially when/if your $favorite distro changes on a weekly basis.

I think slapt-src is what you are looking for. It's part of the system.
