It makes sense if I extract the iconmanager window entry drawing from
(4)-"Appearance" patchset and move it to (6)-"Improvements"; then swap
(4) and (3)-"Opacity", so patches (1)...(3) replace bitmap font
rendering with xft including all vertical spacing changes, and these
improvements can be treated as a whole. So I'll do that.

I don't quite catch your suggestion, please help, be more specific. :-)
It seems XftFontOpenName() is quite robust, even if I give it '\0'
character as a font name, it returns a quite good "replacement". So the
easiest way would be to rely on the smartness of XftFontOpenName()?
(In fact, I suspect we will never know for sure if our requested font is
really what we get out of XftFontOpenName() in the end, so maybe it
doesn't make much sense to do lots of work in formulating the
fallback/default replacement request?)
