It seems that dmenu has stopped using the X Logical Font Description (XLFD) format for specifying a font. Instead, it is now using the X FreeType (XFT) format. Can you please try the following: $ dmenu -fn "Terminus:size=16" > I tried now also with some other formats (xft/etc), but I realized I can > actually supply garbage to -fn, dmenu doesn't even complain. You are right. dmenu doesn't complain and instead falls back to the default font (which is monospace). I will report this upstream. Thanks, Ilias
