From: Spencer Phippen <[email protected]> XftFontMatch does display-specific font configuration (commit 528241a). Nice. Unfortunately, when we switched from FcFontMatch, we also stopped storing the post-Fc{Config,Default}Substitute FcPattern for future lookups. The result is that if a glyph isn't found in the primary font, secondary font lookups use the original FcPattern, not the configured one. If you have custom fontconfig rules (like me), this can be disappointing.
I basically just copied the guts out of XftFontMatch[1] and saved the intermediate configured FcPattern. Could be related to the bug that inspired commit 4242027.
