Soft or not:

- Just to clarify for this thread, StumpWM doesn't contain support for
  XFT fonts, so it depends on what fonts your X server supports, see
  previous comments in this thread for more info on this, or use the
  program "xfontsel" which is a good rudimentary X11 font selector.

- My Stump config has the following for font config. I make no claims
  that this is "the right way" or "definitive" or "orginal" but the
  first line works for me.

(set-font 
"-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-11-80-100-100-m-70-iso10646-1")
;; (set-font "-artwiz-snap-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*")
;; (set-font "-*-aqui-medium-r-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")
;; (set-font "-*-wenquanyi bitmap

;; (set-font "-xos4-*-medium-r-normal-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*")

;; (set-font "-*-comic sans ms-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")
;; (set-font "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-11-*-*-*-*-56-*-*")
;; (set-font "-*-inconsolata-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")
;; (set-font "-*-terminal-*-*-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")
;; (set-font "-*-courier-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")
