[Bug 36251] BUG IDENTIFIED (to be confirmed) Was: Unreadable Font Size for GDM Login/Password

[Sun Wukong]

Hello,

Well, I got this bug as well and can reproduce at will, on a vaio pcg-
z1rmp, based on an ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY.

I tried many things unsuccessfully until...
until I found the bug or so I think.

Here is it :
One line is missing in the HumanCircle.xml file

Here is a part of that file :
<!-- password box -->
  <item type="rect">
	  <pos x="50%" y="50%" width="box" height="box" anchor="c"/>
	  <box xpadding="0" ypadding="0" spacing="5" orientation="vertical">
		  <item type="rect">
			  <pos x="0" y="0" width="box" height="box" expand="true"/>
			  <normal color="#ffffff" alpha="0.3"/>
			  <box xpadding="50" ypadding="15" spacing="10" orientation="vertical">
      <item type="label" id="pam-prompt">
        <pos x="0"/>
        <normal font="Bitstream Vera Sans Bold 18" color="#523921"/>
        <stock type="username-label"/>
      </item>
      <item type="rect">
        <normal color="#523921"/>
        <pos width="160" height="24"/>
        <fixed>
          <item type="entry" id="user-pw-entry">
            <pos y="1" x="1" width="-2" height="-2" anchor="nw"/>
        	<normal font="Bitstream Vera Sans Bold 14" color="#000000"/> #<---here is the missing line
          </item>
        </fixed>
	</item>

I pointed out the line I added that shoult be between lines 98 and 99 in
the original file.  Sorry about that : I still lack some skills in Linux
dev to produce a patch file.  I hope it'll come (soon ! :-))

i set a 14 points font size because it feet my 1400x1050 screen,  but a
tinier font would probably suit better.

I don't know about others Themes but it may be good to have a look in their conf. file as well.
Best regards,
Sun Wukong
