One benefit of using libdraw (which will be used for dmenu 4.2 and dwm
5.9) is that this functionality can be centralised. If someone were to
write a simple clean xft patch for libdraw it could be useful, perhaps
even integrated into mainline.

My personal copy of dwm uses a libdraw back-end, so if someone wants
to take advantage of this (and the bugfixes it brings) just ask and
I'll make a diff.

Thanks,
