Bug Description

dmenu in suckless-tools doesn't provide xft support, it would be great to add it, there're available patches for dmenu 4.2 (suckless-tools 38-2) [0], dmenu 4.4.1 (suckless-tools 39-1) [1] and dmenu 4.5 (still not packaged) [2]

[Testcase]

    $ dmenu_run -fn "Liberation Mono-8"
dmenu: warning: cannot load font 'Liberation Mono-8'

[1] http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/dmenu-4.4.1-xft.diff
[2] http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/dmenu-4.5-xft.diff

I created a version with this patch available here (dmenu package)
