Text from original patch:
Using pango markup for status text
Use a single font. Removed some code utf8 code from drw.
Created for pango 1.44. Older versions might not have getter
for font height, ascent + descent can be used instead.
All texts are rendered with pango but only status is with
markup. Increased stext size (in case a lot of markup is used).
MIN/MAX is already defined (didn't redefine them).
This is an updated version of the statuscolors patch that fixes the
computation of the text width. The previous version of the patch
inculded all the byte codes that are used to select the color schemes
when computing the width, obaining a width that is larger than the real
width. This patch fixes that by adding up the widths of the individual
chunks, separated by the codes that select the color schemes.
