Yes, I ran that from my current session that was running dwm.

You apparently ran that from within a running dwm session?

yes sir I did

Yeah, that's not gonna work.
Hence the plan to start an xterm only session and from that xterm launch dwm (as the alternative to just try xterm w/ the "bad" fonts.conf will according to #24 not trigger the problem)

I changed it to exec xterm, ran the strace command for dwm and this is what I got

I also want to note that in the terminal it told me that fonts inside of my dwm configuration were not able to be loaded
