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.
Can you please try the following:
$ dmenu -fn "Terminus:size=16"

You are right. dmenu doesn't complain and instead falls back to the
default font (which is monospace). I will report this upstream.
Thanks,
