This change allows st to correctly render fonts given in point sizes,
bringing its behavior in line with other software: dwm, dmenu, tabbed,
etc:
FC_DEBUG=1 st -f Terminus:size=10

Subject: [PATCH] Use XftFontMatch in place of FcFontMatch.
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].
