i think it's the same font, but after kdm login it's renderend smaller
and (subjectively) not so sharp.

ok, here goes the comparison.

> xdpyinfo | grep resolution
$ diff _xdm.log _kdm.log
1c1
<   resolution:    100x100 dots per inch

no difference (empty output)

no difference

no difference, i have 81 lines of output and it seems to be reasonable.

so as it seemed that dpi is the problem, i set in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc

ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp -dpi 100

and now it works fine! later i also discovered that for xdm i 
explicitely also have the option "-dpi 100"

thanks for help!

regards,
