Package: wmii Version: 3.10~20120413+hg2813-8 Severity: Minor 1. $ apt-get install wmii 2. (launch wmii) 3. $ wmiir xwrite /ctl "font xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:size=10" wmiir: fatal: cannot write file '/ctl': can't load font
4. $ apt-get install libxft-dev 5. (restart wmii) 6. $ wmiir xwrite /ctl "font xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:size=10" (success) On further investigation, it turns out that wmii calls dlopen("libXft.so", RTLD_LAZY). I guess that either this should be patched to find the correct libXft.so.x.y.z, or libxft-dev should be added as a recommended package of wmii.
