Re: [dev] [patch] dmenu - support for xft font rendering

I'm sympathetic with this view, being a lover of typography myself. But
you're in luck! dmenu, dwm, and libdraw already do support variable-width
fonts. My desktop system runs dmenu in Helvetica. :)

I can't comment on the code complexity, but I do wish there was support
for proportional fonts and other typographical niceties in
terminal/ncurses apps. Not directly related to Xft I guess, but longer
texts (email/rss feeds...) in monospace look rather unpleasant. It would
be awesome if swk could reconcile the simplicity and efficiency of
suckless tools with some basic regard for typography.
