Nikolay Amiantov bd18e491a9 fontconfig service: drop dpi option
Recommend to use services.xserver.dpi option instead. Mention in the
documentation that it's a sledgehammer approach and monitor settings should be
used instead.

Also don't set DPI in fontconfig settings; fontconfig should use Xft settings
by default so let's not override one value in multiple places. For example,
user now can set DPI via ~/.Xresources properly.

/*
Configuration files are linked to /etc/fonts/conf.d/
This module generates a package containing configuration files and link it in /etc/fonts.
Fontconfig reads files in folder name / file name order, so the number prepended to the configuration file name decide the order of parsing.
Low number means high priority.
