 What can I say... the configuration 'looked good on my machine' :(

 http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/nia/xdm.jpg

 xdm's ability to align and resize itself for different font sizes
 is pretty limited, and it's difficult to predict exactly how
 scalable fonts will be rendered on a range of different display sizes. 

 Can you try replacing "Liberation XXX" here in
 /etc/xdm/Xresources

 xlogin*greetFace:       Liberation Sans:pixelsize=32:hintstyle=hintslight
 xlogin*face:            Liberation Mono:pixelsize=16:hintstyle=hintslight
 xlogin*promptFace:      Liberation Mono:pixelsize=16:hintstyle=hintslight
 xlogin*failFace:        Liberation Mono:pixelsize=16:hintstyle=hintslight

 with simply "Monospace"?

 Modified Files:
 	src/external/mit/xorg/bin/xdm/config: Xresources.in

 Log Message:
 xdm: Revert font changes. Requested by martin.

 In addition, we must lower innerFramesWidth to prevent the new-old
 fonts from causing the two text input boxes to overlap. xdm really
 could be more clever about text layout...
