Hi,

Thanks for your PR. Although I have been hesitant adding unofficial
patches to the dmenu and dwm ports, this looks very interesting. I
have however some questions:

Are you the original author of this patch and/or do you plan to
maintain it?

If so, would you care to host/list it on the community wiki at
<http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/>?

Some technical remarks:
- I do not agree with XFT defaulting to On.
- Why is a '-bh' option added? It seems unrelated to XFT.
- Why is the '-sf' option removed? This can/will break existing
  configurations.

Regards,

No, I'm not the author of that patch, but I just customized the patch to suit
port. Anyways, the patch is not difficult to maintain, so I can maintain it :).

Okay, fine. This can be fixed.

I'm not an extensive user of dmenu, but I can look at it. At the moment, I'm a
bit busy but I can reply to you with an updated patch and with any
explanations you seek, in a week or 10 days.

Thanks

So you've got a problem, and you've decided to solve it with
Regular Expressions.  Now you've got two problems.

This diff looks better. I've tested it on my FreeBSD 8.0 system
without problems. Attached patch is a slightly modified version that
may be committed. Notable changes:
 * Xft is off by default.
 * The patch is not included in the port tree, but at a PATCH_SITE: The
   same location of my dmenu sources MASTER_SITE mirror.

Thanks for your work on this patch.
