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: commit 35f563369470139665498640f4cda23d1227073b Author: Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith@sun.com> Date: Tue May 29 19:57:29 2007 -0700 http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/app/xdm.git;a=commitdiff;h=35f563369470139665498640f4cda23d1227073b
Now the manpage looks much better. Shall we open another bug for the 3d stuff?
No new bug is needed - I've gone ahead and documented them as well now. http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/app/xdm.git;a=commitdiff;h=a8927ee05efba3afe955731bab5d633879c39833
That's wonderful! Thanks. Works for me ^ 2 :-)
