+Font used in the status bar. Either Xft or X Logical Font Description (XLFD)
+may be used to specify fonts. Fallback fonts may be specified by separating
+each font with a comma. If all entries are XLFD syntax, font set will be
+used. If at least one entry is Xft, Xft will be used. Note that if Xft is in
+use, only the first font that successfully loads will be used regardless of
+missing glyphs. The default is to use font set. Also note that dmenu does
+not support Xft fonts.
