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.

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
