Thanks for the report.

I assume this is the same issue that has popped up on this list a few
times already:

https://www.google.ch/search?dcr=0&source=hp&ei=yc-KWr6yH8avUcq5hrAF&q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Flists.suckless.org%2Fdev%2F+font+dwm+crash&oq=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Flists.suckless.org%2Fdev%2F+font+dwm+crash&gs_l=psy-ab.3...489.6921.0.7002.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.0CgDm52RuqU

AFAIK, it's still not clear if it's a font issue or not...


Cheers,
