I've chosen to do not use "," but space between size and direction. First "," are used in the XLFD to separated different fonts. So it seems to me that a "," denote an alternative in font name. Also it seems to me that "," is a strong separator from fvwm syntax point of view. About directions. I've used l r u b ur ul br bl. Is "u" alone should be t?
