Really? How do you even know fonts are related to the problem? dmenu did
draw itself, right? It's just not running your programs. Please expand,
because we don't know exactly what you mean, nor have you referenced the
post. Also, there may be some silent Arch Linux users here, myself
included, but they usually actually understand how an operating system
works. Don't bandy the names Arch or Ubuntu about unless you want to be
prepared to receive some flak from particular other community members.

That and running dmenu_run under -x, (side bonus, also see any output
from dmenu itself, including the segfault message from the shell),
giving us your $PATH, etc. Heck, you could strace the syscalls to see if
it ever does an execve.

Pardon me for being rudely blunt, but what the heck does this have to do
with another distro? Really. Distros aren't unmodifiable monoliths. Some
are just more or less a pain, or designed for it.
