Yo Nick: I moved because I wanted to catch the action in tip -- last change in xft was 7 months ago via me. My font line in config.h is precisely what you have. I'm a little confused why broken default X font stuff (if that's the case) would be the culprit here and yet cause no headaches in dwm. Maybe I'll just go back to xft branch.
