I'm using a different theme, happygnome-list, but I tried the equivalent of the fix suggested by Sun Wukong. My username and password entries are now a good, readable size, but to accomplish this I had to set the font size to 48! I believe that the original font size of 14 in the .xml file is reasonable, and that something other than the font size setting is causing this problem. In this theme, there are several other boxes where the font is unreadably small, and I found no way to increase their sizes. There are three boxes along the lower left side of the screen, which I think from looking at the xml code are "options", "session", and "last language". They are almost legible, but not quite. In addition, there are two boxes below the username/password entry box, which I think are labeled "OK" and "Cancel", again based on examining the xml code. Furthermore, the username list on the upper left part of the screen is also tiny. All the other text on the screen is readable size, things like the "enter password" prompt, the "caps lock is on" message and so forth. The items which are rendered unreadably small are those of type "button", "list", and "entry". I could find nothing in the xml code that would affect the font size of the "button" or "list" items, and the one thing that could be affected required a ridiculously large font size value to be made readable.
