Hi, In the latest CVS version if xdm/Xresources, http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/xdm/config/Xres.cpp , you can find the lines
xlogin*font: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-69-iso8859-1 xlogin*promptFont: -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-69-iso8859-1 in the section compiled if the screen width is <= 800. This is problematic, since the average widths for these particular fonts in http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/fonts/bdf/75dpi/helvR12.bdf and http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/fonts/bdf/75dpi/helvB12.bdf are 67 and 70, respectively, rather then 69. Therefore, xdm cannot use these fonts. I suggest to replace the two lines by xlogin*font: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-*-iso8859-1 xlogin*promptFont: -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-*-iso8859-1 IMHO, this should be done also for the other lines in this file.
