Description Marcin Cieślak 2007-05-29 13:20:10 UTC

I tried to figure out why for some XDM customizations available 
(for example http://themes.freshmeat.net/projects/xdm_cronos/)
xlogin font customization in Xresources does not work.

I have looked up the xdm source and found that greeter/Login.c
uses some more X resources when USE_XFT is enabled:
xlogin*face, xlogin*greetFace, xlogin*failFace, etc.

xdm(1) mentions only non-XFT xlogin*font, xlogin*greetFont and 
similar options.

I've added descriptions of the Xft resources to head - it looks like the earlier
3-D look-and-feel resources still aren't documented, but at least this way you 
know which font settings to change and how:

Now the manpage looks much better.
Shall we open another bug for the 3d stuff?

Comment 3 Alan Coopersmith 2007-05-31 17:13:52 UTC

No new bug is needed - I've gone ahead and documented them as well now.
