I've been looking for the Xft version of lemonbar in ports lately
too, however I couldn't get it to compile with your patch.
I had to amend CFLAGS in the Makefile like so:
CFLAGS += -I${X11BASE}/include \
-I${X11BASE}/include/freetype2
Without it, I got fatal errors building:
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:39:10: fatal error: 'ft2build.h'
file not found
Other than that, it built with the CFLAGS changes above and
works for me with Xft fonts.
Thanks,
Tom
