Description:

The configuration file at /etc/X11/xdm/archlinux/Xresources refers to Terminus-24 and Terminus-20 which are not supplied by the package terminus-font. This leads to a very plain font being used for the login screen.

To be clear, terminus-font supplies a font called "xos4 Terminus" and does not supply Terminus-24.

As a final complaint, the xdm-archlinux package also uses Comic Sans which is really embarrassing.

Additional info:

package versions:
community/terminus-font 4.46-1
community/xdm-archlinux 0.5-4

config file (lines 12-14)
Xlogin*promptFace:Terminus-24:style=Bold
Xlogin*face:Terminus-20
Xlogin*failFace:Terminus-24:style=Bold

Steps to reproduce: install both packages listed above and go to the xdm login screen
