<br>
With dmenu I can get the font I want by passing the argument '-fn "DejaVu<br>
Sans Condensed-8:normal"' (a truetype font, using xft).<br>
<br>
I would like the same in XMonad.Prompt.Shell.<br>
<br>
xfontsel(1) of course does not list truetype fonts, and the<br>
documentation only says:<br>
<br>
"data XPConfig<br>
Constructors<br>
XPC<br>
font :: String Font"<br>

<br>
So if anyone else runs into this: what you need to know/guess is to<br>
prefix the 'font' with "xft:" in your configuration; i.e.:<br>
<br>
myPromptConfig = defaultXPConfig<br>
{<br>
position = Top<br>
-- ...<br>
, font = "xft:DejaVu Sans Condensed-8"<br>
}<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
