bug in gdm with font size in themes?

[Anton Altaparmakov <aia21 cam ac uk>]

Hi,

We are experiencing the problem that the lower the screen resolution in
X (e.g. 640x480) the smaller are the fonts in the graphical greeter. 
And the higher the resolution (e.g. 1280x1024), the bigger are the
fonts.  Note, the fonts are specified by the theme like so "Sans 24"
(and other sizes obviously).  This happens with all themes I tried. 
This is using the GDM that comes with SuSE 9.1, i.e. gdm-2.4.4.7 and
local patches (none of which affect theme/font handling).

Surely specifying a font of "Sans 24" should look the same size on all
screen resolutions, should it not?

Has anyone else seen this problem?

Any ideas for how to fix it?

Best regards,

	Anton
