To Change the Fonts

You can change the fonts used on the login screen by setting one of the following font resources in Xresources:

Dtlogin*greeting*fontList—font for welcome messages

Dtlogin*labelFont—font for push buttons and labels

Dtlogin*textFont—font for help and error messages

To list the available fonts, type:

xlsfonts [-options] [-fn pattern]

The following example uses a large font for the welcome message (the value you specify must be contained on one line):

Dtlogin*greeting*fontList: -dt-interface \
 system-medium-r-normal-xxl*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*:
