My display has 90dpi but I set Xft resolution to 80 because the default
size for 90dpi is too big [1]

# xrdb -query | grep -i xft
Xft.antialias:  1
Xft.dpi:        80,000000
Xft.hinting:    1
Xft.hintstyle:  hintmedium
Xft.rgba:       rgb

There are different ways to set the X server dpi setting, see the FAQ in
the xfree86-common package or so.

[1] Windows' fonts are not larger then the current @80dpi and nobody
complains there... why does fontconfig prefer larger font settings?! I
can send a screenshot if needed.

Regards,
Eduard.
