Hi Ingo, Apologies, I didn't see the tarball until it was too late, so I untarred that and it compiles and runs fine here. No changes needed to the Makefile.
(Sorry for getting your name wrong in the previous email's To: line.. bad muscle memory typing things!) I am really liking this new Xft-enabled lemonbar. The fonts are so much nicer now. Thanks for this! Kind regards, Tom
