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...

Best regards,
