Really, St does fonts better than Urxvt?

I checked it out some years ago but found that it launched more slowly than 
Urxvt (rather urxvtc). On my current laptop, it's 0.02 seconds for urxvtc vs 
0.07 for St, maybe not a big difference. But I also use a number of Urxvt's 
Perl extensions, so switching doesn't make sense for me.

St seems to have a lot of forks, I guess it is popular to modify it. There are 
also a lot of patches listed on the website. It's an interesting philosophy.

When I first started using URxvt, I had to find some fonts that rendered 
properly (terminus). I don't know much about fonts but I know that there are 
several fonts that render well in Xterm or Gnome-terminal, but not Urxvt. 
Generally these problems are not corrected, because of a perception that the 
problem is with the font and not the terminal.

I included some messages below from earlier threads about this topic.

I don't know about the build error you got, sometimes it helps to check out the 
most recent tagged release. Also, try translating it into English.

Any help? Thanks in advance.
