Package: wdm
Version: 1.28-2.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
In Debian, the font displayed with the wdm greeter is quite ugly.
Changing to another font is not possible at the moment, as wdm simply
ignores the appropriate option in `/etc/GNUstep/Defaults/WMGLOBAL'.
Fortunately, there exists a compile time option with wdm which allows to
set a fake $HOME path. Setting this to `/etc' makes the wdm greeter query
the font settings in `/etc/GNUstep/Defaults/WMGLOBAL', which is available
by default if wmaker is installed. In any case, it allows one to alter
the greeter font.
Could you please use said option `--with-fakehome=/etc' with configure?
Regards,
Peter
