Hi,

is there a way to set a custom font and to turn off antialiasing for the
input form of gdm (greeter)? It uses obviously Vera Sans with terrible
AA, I would prefer a clean Helvetica. /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf seems to be
the right place, but I have failed to find the correct command.
FC2, GNOME 2.6.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Ilja
