In the process of compiling the latest Xmobar from git, I needed to update my version of GHC to 7.0.4. While I was at it, I also updated my Xmonad to 0.10. Everything seems to run fine, but I lost the XFT font support (e.g. in Xmobar and in tab titles on tabbed layouts). Can anyone suggest a solution to bring XFT fonts back?
I upgraded with something like cabal update cabal install xmonad cabal install xmonad-contrib --flags="-use_xft" cabal configure xmobar --flags="-with_xft" cabal install xmobar
i vaguely remember having had some issue in xmobar when specifying -with_xft without -with_utf8 (which implies the former)... i didn't ascertain the reason and thought the problem was mine, and it probably was, but perhaps you could try anyway... jao -- "I didn't do it, and I'll never do it again." -Derrik Weeks
