 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,
