Greetings, Christoph

I tried many ways to fix my fontconfig, but fallback isn't working
for me with XftFontMatch patch at all. There isn't much difference
in my configuration, comparing with Gentoo or Arch wiki.

Therefore I finally ask you to share your working fontconfig, where
fallback correctly works for aforementioned problems.
At least there is hope to highlight involved key points.
