createFontSet broken with libX11-1.6.4 about x11 HOT 6 OPEN

What font are you trying to use?
Note that if you were using an XFT font and then rebuilt xmonad-contrib
without -fuse_xft, you will get this error because XCreateFontSet doesn't
understand XFT fonts.

i forgot mention This is on openSUSE: Tumbleweed , official openSUSE packages.

xmobar-contrib is compiled by default with xft flag enabled ..

Plus this erroris triggered by:

    import XMonad.Util.Themes
    import XMonad.Layout.Tabbed

in layoutHook:
tabbed shrinkText (theme smallClean)

so system default font

from x11.

Is this still an issue?

from x11.

I think so. I got the same errors while testing with a very minimal configuration that uses tabbed or simpleTabbed as a layoutHook (got here by DDG'ing)

from x11.

@andrea-berling Are you perhaps hitting xmonad/xmonad-contrib#348?
These errors are expected if there really isn't any font on your system that matches the descriptor.

If, on the other hand, there are matching fonts, yet createFontSet still fails, then we might have a bug here. Sounds unlikely, though.

from x11.

Maybe. I didn't specify any descriptor for the font name, I guess I used the one defined by the default configuration

from x11.
