How do I change dmenu font and size?

Question

How do I change the size as well as font on dmenu? Dmenu is a software launcher. It it possible to do /usr/bin/dmenu_run -fn 'FireCode-16', but that changes the whole dmenu bar size, not just the font. I want the bar to be thicker, but I want to be able to make the font a a size that matches the font on my status bar.

Answer 1

The Line height patch does exactly that. It gives you an option to customize the height of the dmenu bar:

$ dmenu_run -fn 'FiraCode-16' -h 24
