  Example config (put it in user module):

  ```
  local fontconfig = require "plugins.fontconfig"
  fontconfig.use {
    font = { name = 'sans', size = 13 * SCALE },
    code_font = { name = 'monospace', size = 13 * SCALE },
  }
  ```

  if you want the fonts to load instantaneously on startup,
  you can try your luck on fontconfig.use_blocking. I won't be responsible for
  the slow startup time.
