System font rendering in Linux?

#1

Arch Linux 4.14.5-1. XFCE 4.12.
It looks like sublime use its own font rendering system. I don’t have problem with my mono font in editor because its uses big font size. But fonts in tabs, sidebar, panels, and all other UI elements renders not like in system.
On screenshot you can see the difference between menu bar font(system rendering) and tabs labels(subl rendering) with same setting. Only dpi and font size difference because of Sublime ignore system(or xfce) dpi too. Look at space between characters and especially on “t” letter.

I know, that Sublime use system fontconfig settings, but it still displays fonts worse than XFCE.
Can I setting up Sublime to use my DE font rendering?
