[dev] dwm taskbar font

Could somebody explain or help me how to set a dwm taskbar font properly,
cause I'm tired of guessing what am I doing wrong:

I run arch and added dwm via abs into my home dir. So here are my actions:
1. cd into dwm compile dir (cd Public/dwm_sync/dwm/)
2. ls Public/dwm_sync/dwm/
{
config
config.h
dwm-5.8.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
dwm-5.8.2.tar.gz
dwm.desktop
dwm.install
pkg
PKGBUILD
src
}
3. edited config.h with a font I chose in xfontsel
{
static const char font[] =
"-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*";
}
4. save and makepkg -efi --skipinteg
5. restart

Result: nothing absolutely have changed. Why? What am I doing wrong? I've
been trying with different fonts, so I don't have a clue. I found a very
nice font in my /usr/share/fonts/ "ter-216n", how do I know what description
in xfontsel it has?

I've been asking about this in arch forum, but no advice that could fix it
was given so far, so I'm asking suckless community archlinux users for
help.
