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"?

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...
