I wanted to keep the look&feel the same as with the previous/other packages, to not "break" existing setups. Looks like the suckless people change the color and font settings every N months, depending on who is the current most active maintainer. … and finally, they introduced a command line switch for them :) For OpenBSD we introduced a consistent look&feel using the same color (custom grey color scheme) and font (terminus) in all suckless ports (dwm, dmenu, surf, tabbed, …) some years ago. I’m fine with changing the font, but then we should change it in all related ports. Another option is to remove the font patches from all suckless ports, keeping the default “monospace” and let the user override it with whatever he likes in .fonts.conf as described here and here: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html and here http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/106070/changing-monospace-fonts-system-wide I also would like to hear what the port maintainer has to say here, Jim?! > Also, I have some weird issues with font rendering: only a handful of > non-ASCII characters render in the same size as ASCII, and the rest of > them are tiny; all of non-ASCII characters I tried apparently have wrong > width. I am not sure that the issue is in dmenu though. Yep, looks like a terminus issue to me. > -- > Dmitrij D. Czarkoff >
