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.
Hi Richard, sorry for the late reply.
Can you still reproduce this with xdm from testing or unstable?
Looking at the code, I see:
greeter/greet.c:static char *argv[] = { xlogin, NULL };
greeter/greet.c:dpy = XtOpenDisplay (context, d-name, xlogin, Xlogin,
NULL, 0,
which suggests that the xlogin* resources ought to work.
Cheers,
Julien
