Xft and fonts

[mrabault]

First of all, I want to switch to dmlenu, so I was going through the documentation and the examples. I like using the same font everywhere, Inconsolata, but dmlenu doesn't seem to provide an option to select the font which'll be used. What's more, Inconsolata only works with Xft. Could you, if that's possible and not too demanding, use Xft and provide an option to specify which font to use ?

Thanks in advance and sorry for any stupid stuff I might've said.

Hi!

Offering an option to choose the font is easy enough, but the Xft support might need a bit of work.
I'll have a look during the week.

Is there any example on how to set the font now ? It doesn't seem straightforward when looking at the API...

I'm happy to announce that you can now 1) change the font (there's a font argument for App.run) 2) use any font that Pango handles (in particular, inconsolata works).
