I wanted to add windows ttf fonts in /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts and
then deleted the (what I thought) duplicate entries.

Tried this reinstall GDM, all *pango* packages, ttf packages, removed
vera*.ttf.

I tried to change the theme this way 
(http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13):
sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop 
/usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow
sudo unlink 
/usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop

but all fonts were visible as squares

Everything else works, except the login window. This should not be so
cumbersome.

The System - administration - Login Screen tool is pathetically reduced
compared to what I read about this tool in earlier Ubuntu (Gnome)
versions.
