Bug Description
In the default Breezy installation, the Font and Size used for GDM login and
password is unreadable. Letters are about 6 pixels high, which means that you
can't really distinguish between letters using a lens, let alone with unarmed
eyes or visually impaired people.
I have noticed that the font size is dependant on wether I have a second monitor
connected (actually it is not being used, I use the standard xorg.conf without
multimonitor stuff for testing). If its disconnected, the font is also very
small (about 9 pixels), but readable if you try hard. If its connected, the font
is unreadable (about 6 pixels).
I am using a Dell Latitude X1 (internal display: 1280 x 768) and a Dell 2405FPW
(1920 x 1200).
My proposals are:
- remove the size dependancy on the second monitor
- make the font for login a lot bigger (there is lots of space!)
Regards,
Andreas

Thanks for your bug. That doesn't seems to be the default setup. Maybe you could
get a screenshot using "gdmflexiserver --xnest" for that?
