Why can't dmenu antialias?

attachment.php

Up is dmen. Down is xterm.​
The text on dmenu can't antialias.
On the other place(xterm etc.), the font antialias is ok.
Thanks!:(

Try to compile dmenu with and without XFT, may be it help.

Code:
cd /usr/ports/x11/dmenu
sudo make config

Not sure if the dmenu port in FreeBSD provides the xft option. However doing it by yourself should be very easy. dmeu-xft patch exists for quite sometime. Follow this link for the patch. Frankly though, if you use a nice font like montecarlo, terminus, or a member of the proggyfonts family, dmenu would look better. That way you need not even bother about antialiasing. But if you insist, here you go.
