I haven't tried it, but nice. I would like to see that in dwm as well. Not as a patch that needs to be maintained, but rather as a part of dwm. Are the old style X fonts really that much better?

My pleasure. I will take a look at the issue with the '-l' switch when I have the time. A rewrite of the highlight colour handling is probably in order, as it looks rather messy atm (if anyone feels like taking a swing at it, go right ahead! :) Eventually I would love to see the xft stuff

To be honest I'm not familiar with Xft - there are so many X font systems to choose from! If the code is simple and there are no added *necessary* dependencies, it *might* be useful. I don't know how many people would use Xft, so perhaps a patch would be better, but I have been asked about it a

I'm sympathetic with this view, being a lover of typography myself. But you're in luck! dmenu, dwm, and libdraw already do support variable-width fonts. My desktop system runs dmenu in Helvetica. :) On Sep 1, 2010 8:19 PM, Arian Kuschki arian.kusc...@googlemail.com wrote: Excerpts from Ethan

Current font size support in swk is merely a hack, the plan is to use libdraw, so it will eventually support it. Antialiased fonts are sometimes better for reading. I personally use 10x20 font or the fixed one. But certainly..reading the web with courier is not as nice as with verdana..
