Bug#427233: xdm: Please turn on Xft support
Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.1.4-3
Severity: wishlist
I have just found out that support for Xft was finally added to xdm.
Please turn on Xft support, so that the xdm greeter can at last look
much better (simply installing libxft-dev and rebuilding the package
from debian sources enables Xft support).
