+Allow Color font
+================
+
+Description
+-----------
+By default dmenu will block using colour fonts because a bug in libXft [will
+cause dmenu to crash][bug]. However, if you build it against a [patched version
+of libXft][patch] it will work fine, but you need to remove the special
+condition in dmenu.
+
+This simple patch removes that check, so colour fonts work.
+
+Again, if you don't patch libXft then dmenu will *crash*.
