This is what I do when I install Arch Linux to improve the fonts.
You may consider the following settings to improve your fonts for system-wide usage without installing a patched font library packages (eg. Infinality):
The CAPS key can be mapped to an escape key when pressed once, and a super
(mod4) key when used in combination with other keys.
Create the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/custom_opts with the following:
// Make Caps an additional Escape
hidden partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "super_esc" {
key { [ Escape ] };

| # The following configuration heavily leverages modal keymaps to minimize the | |
| # pollution of global keybindings. In addition, the modal keymaps facilitate | |
| # the consistent use of the same keybindings across different modes. For | |
| # example, this configuration uses 'h', 'l', 'j', and 'k' to represent west, | |
| # east, south, and north when: changing focus, warping windows, resizing | |
| # windows, swapping windows, and moving floating windows. Those four keys are | |
| # mapped differently depending on the current mode to provide a consistent user | |
| # experience. |
