The xft module for stumpwm is broken because it doesnt clear the cache. This is a fix that creates a timer that will clear that cache so it doesnt take up all the memory.
Simply place into the modules directory, load-module it, then run
start-loop. It will clear the cache every 10 minutes.
(load-module "xft-fix")
(xft-fix:start-loop)If you want to change the repeat timing simply change
*clear-font-repeat* and then execute the start-loop again.
(setq xft-fix:*clear-font-repeat* 20)
(xft-fix:start-loop)You can also insert a delay for the timer using *clear-font-delay*.
(setq xft-fix:*clear-font-delay* 5)
