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*.
