Description:

When no ttf font is installed beforehand no characters are displayed at all(!) meaning for "Login:", "Password:" and inside the input field.

Installing ttf-dejavu solved the issue.

Since according to our wiki, under All slim options, Verdana is set as a default I think it would be reasonable to include a font (like e.g. ttf-dejavu) at least as an optdepend.

Thanks

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
slim 1.3.6-4

Steps to reproduce:
Install base system
Install xorg-server, drivers and e.g. twm
Install slim
This task depends upon

BTW this seems like a good case for depending upon ttf-font.
