Which login screen?
A display manager's greeter? If so, xorg.conf or display manager settings might solve the issue.
Oops, I was confusing keyboard with fonts. Not xorg.conf, but much likely the display manager configuration provides to chose a font.
Or tty?
sorry i mean the login at the console,
it a file server without xorg, display manger etc.

Did you customize /etc/locale.gen and ran locale-gen? Cheers, -- Leonid Isaev GPG fingerprints: DA92 034D B4A8 EC51 7EA6 20DF 9291 EE8A 043C B8C4 C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
