XMonad Tabbed: Xft support?

I would like to know if there is xft support for xmonad? I use this config:

myTheme :: Theme
myTheme = defaultTheme { activeColor = "blue",
            inactiveColor = "grey",
            inactiveTextColor = "blue",
            urgentColor = "red",
            decoHeight = 30,
            --fontName = "xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:size=12"
            fontName = "-*-consolas-*-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
            }

I do not know why, but XMonad does not use the font i have chosen (in my code it is commented). instead it uses a "default" font (do not know which). Do you have any ideas?

Do you have haskell-x11-xft installed?

Maybe it's a problem with the particular font. take a look here:
