The patch works for me, but I was unable to replace XftDefaultSet. From 
my understanding, while Xft has a way to override the defaults, this is 
not the case for fontconfig and Cairo. So, I suppose this is not needed 
for fontconfig and Cairo and other parts of the code should ensure the 
new settings are used without relying on defaults.

Also, the Cairo-specific part of the patch makes no difference for me. I 
have included it because Cairo documentation says to put it there.
