I confirm this bug in 8.04 Beta on an Dell XPS M1710 with a NVidia video card.
Steps to reproduce: 1.) Install ubuntu (fonts look good) 2.) Install nvidia driver (nvidia-glx) 3.) restart X 4.) username / password fonts are too large Steps to fix: 1. edit /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/Human.xml 2. change /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/Human.xml <item type="entry" id="user-pw-entry"> <normal color="#000000" font="Sans 12"/> <pos y="2" x="2" width="-4" height="-4" anchor="nw"/> </item> TO <item type="entry" id="user-pw-entry"> <normal color="#000000" font="Sans 10"/> <pos y="2" x="2" width="-4" height="-4" anchor="nw"/> </item> Of course there could be other ways to fix but this worked for me. -- [feisty] GDM font seems to be to big or too high DPI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99145 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
