Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.0.1-6
Severity: normal
This could either be a bug in /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources , or xdm itself. The
resources named xlogin*Font and similar purport to set the fonts used in the
login widget, but have no such effect. Changing the resource name to login*Font
works.
I think xdm used to honour xlogin*Font, based on functioning xdm setups on
older machines I've seen, but it clearly no longer does - this may or may not
be correct behaviour.

Closing this bug, no reply in 2 years. Note that xdm now uses Xft to
draw text, so the xlogin*face resources are probably more relevant than
the *font ones these days. Feel free to reopen if you still have issues
though.
