Yo Nick:

I moved because I wanted to catch the action in tip -- last change in
xft was 7 months ago via me. My font line in config.h is precisely
what you have. I'm a little confused why broken default X font stuff
(if that's the case) would be the culprit here and yet cause no
headaches in dwm. Maybe I'll just go back to xft branch.
