It is pretty minimalistic as it is, IMO but, if it's just altering the fonts it should be fairly intuitive from reading that file how to select a font you would prefer. /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup0 if you want to change xconsole or add a background color, for example, by using xsetroot, xpmroot, xv, etc. I think any changes will be lost on subsequent upgrades though.
