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. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.6rt Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xdm depends on: ii cpp 4:4.0.3-3 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.0 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libice6 1:1.0.0-3 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpam0g 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 1.30-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libsm6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-6 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.0-3 X11 authorisation library ii libxaw7 1:1.0.1-5 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxdmcp6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 Display Manager Control Protoc ii libxext6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxmu6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.4.2-3 X11 pixmap library ii libxt6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii x11-common 1:7.0.16 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc ii xbase-clients 1:7.0.1-1 miscellaneous X clients xdm recommends no packages. -- debconf information: xdm/stop_running_server_with_children: false xdm/daemon_name: /usr/bin/X11/xdm * shared/default-x-display-manager: xdm

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.
