I at first want to figure out why the above two methods for
seting a font are different. At least, I can't reproduce
the difference. Can you? When I have "dejavu sans mono"
fonts both for fontconfig and X as below, both methods set
the default font to X font.
% fc-list 'dejavu sans mono'
DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold Oblique
DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Oblique
DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book
DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold
% xlsfonts '*-dejavu sans mono-*'
