Title:
Unreadable Font Size for GDM Login/Password
I think that this is a problem with the detection/setting of the font
size. On my 1920x1280 monitor everything is clearly readable.

I'm using a different theme, happygnome-list, but I tried the equivalent

I've seen an even more severe case of this.
The font *really* is unreadable.
Only 3 pixels high, on my Sony XBR4 (40 inch 1920x1080).
After setting display size in the monitor section of xorg.conf, it got better.
It is readable now, but still way too small.

Unreadable Font Size for GDM
I think this becomes an upstream issue. It would seem like a "Good
Thing" to have fonts sizes completely unchained from hard pixel counts.
Ken?
If it is viable, we should push this upstream and get some opinions on
it, as I don't know of a way to do this with the current implementation.
Sincere
Kenneth, then why are the default font sizes after login in pixels
rather than cm/inches? And why do all other elements on the login screen
(including the login box border itself) have fixed pixel sizes? The
login box font seems to be the only thing that is relative to something,
and it goes wrong
Using a fixed pixel size would be a mistake, as on very large
resolutions it would be tiny.
I have no idea why this is happening but it sounds like the Xserver is
not reporting the correct resolution or such.

I must say that I have more or less given up on this. On one computer,
the font is huge (compared to the other fonts). On the other, it is
still tiny (next to unreadable). It seems that since the released fix

This bug persists. On one laptop my gdm font size is normal (just like

circumstances that 7 would be really small. But it seems that GDM

I think size 14 or bigger for both the labels and the text box would be
better for desktop and lapop displays.
This would make more certain that the label and the typed username are
readable. This is important.
For small screens like PDAs there are separate projects (GPE, Familiar,
etc) that can

Thank you for your work on that. GNOME themes use "Sans 12" for that
entry, maybe the Ubuntu theme should do the same?

Confirmed for clean install of Dapper (as well as Dapper-Upgraded-From-
Breeze and Breezy itself). During the Breezy days I got around it by
manually setting a font size for the password/login box in the Human
theme. Alas, I've lost that hack during an upgrade, so I cannot post it
at the moment. Bu
Thanks for the workaround, Stefano.
However, the problem should be fixed for the *default* theme. It is an
important usability issue that the typed username is hard to read. It
is hard to use for me, who have 20/20 vision. For visually impaired
people, it would be a big problem.

While the font size has indeed grown by one pixel, it is still only 7 pixels
with an external monitor connected (not configured!) and 8 pixels without.
Pre-configured standard font size is 10 pixels, why not use that? There is
enough space on the screen.
