1 Allow Color font 2 ================ 3 4 Description 5 ----------- 6 By default dmenu will block using colour fonts because a bug in libXft [will 7 cause dmenu to crash][bug]. However, if you build it against a [patched version 8 of libXft][patch] it will work fine, but you need to remove the special 9 condition in dmenu. 10 11 This simple patch removes that check, so colour fonts work. 12 13 Again, if you don't patch libXft then dmenu will *crash*. 14 15 [bug]: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/issues/6 16 [patch]: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/merge_requests/1 17 18 Download 19 -------- 20 * For 5.0: [dmenu-allow-color-font-5.0.diff](dmenu-allow-color-font-5.0.diff) 21 22 Authors 23 ------- 24 * Martin Tournoij
