"Large Font" style option does not work

I think the current code behaves incorrectly when the font name contains spaces. The attached patch works for me.

Do you want to maintain the GTK greeter? I can give you commit access and then you can fix it directly.

Yes, I'd appreciate that if you don't mind (not that I'm sure I'll be able/have enough time to maintain it properly, but at least I can commit bugfixes when you can't). Thanks.

(anyway I'll check with the other "users" of this greeter, e.g. lubuntu and ubuntu-studio, too).

I committed my patch.

Hi,

@Lionel - you're welcome to test and verify your own uploads, particularly if (a) you're very confident in the fix, and (b) no-one else has stepped up to test for a while.

I tested the proposed fix of lightdm-gtk-greeter and it does resizes the fonts on demand now.
