commit 528241aa3835e2f1f052abeeaf891737712955a0 from: Christoph Lohmann <20h@r-36.net> date: Fri Jun 3 13:02:32 2016 UTC Use XftFontMatch in place of FcFontMatch. git am -s didn't like your patch: From: Mark Edgar XftFontMatch calls XftDefaultSubstitute which configures various match properties according to the user's configured Xft defaults (xrdb) as well as according to the current display and screen. Most importantly, the screen DPI is computed [1]. Without this, st uses a "default" DPI of 75 [2].
