Well the config.def.h entry of dwm that launches st takes the terminus default declaration as font argument. I changed this to no font argument in dwm HEAD a minute ago. Due to the fact that st favours Xft one should use an Xft declaration instead. dwm/dmenu still prefer old style X fonts, but due to the introduction of libsl/drw|util this might change in the future. Though I conclude that st's drawing code is highly st-specific, which makes libsl/drw only applicable to dmenu/dwm and simpler X11 clients at the moment and for most of the forseeable future...
