@ Simos Xenitellis The themes from GNOME seem to use the alias Sans (I check with gdm-2.17.6) . Its just the edgy/feisty gdm theme that doesn't use the alias but uses "Bitstream Vera Sans Bold" instead.
Replaces "Bitstream Vera Sans" with "Sans". ** Attachment added: "Replaces "Bitstream Vera Sans" with "Sans"" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6298405/feisty-gdm-themes.patch -- gdm theme should use dejavu fonts https://launchpad.net/bugs/70829 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
