This version of dmenu is a fork of the official version 4.2.1. It adds ...
- support for xft fonts (eg. Inconsolata )
- multiple token search, ie typing "ong nam" will match items with names like "xyz123abc456ThisIsAVeryLongFileNameThatIsDifficultToType"
- a few miscellaneous changes under the hood to make the code tidier
To use an xft font, use the normal "-fn FontName" option, and supply a valid xft font name, eg. "Inconsolata-15". This command also recognizes the names of regular x fonts and font sets, eg. "fixed".
These enhancements make dmenu suitable for use as an instant-search navigator in the command line music player interface called muss
