Changing font #12

FONTNAME "-*-snap-*-*-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" what if I what to use a ttf font? does this line work with xft or any other method of declaration? How exactly?

moetunes commented 10 years ago

xft a & ttf fonts are resource heavy and snapwm is a lightweight wm. So you can't use them with this. A. Bloke asked for xft fonts a while ago and I nearly caved in ands added them but my common sense was tingling. ;)

No; it doesn't need that; If you think they're resource heavy, they're resource heavy. I just asked. Somethings are too prefect to mess with them. thanks

@moetunes: Would you consider adding something like the approach taken by monsterwm? Wherein a branch is maintained that is patchable onto master? I might be able to patch in pango support (which makes some really cool things possible - like "free" colored status bars without having to maintain the bar text parsing that other solutions require)

I'm happy to have a look at any code you come up with and then we can decide where to take it from there.

Cheers
