[Bug 66262] Re: Human login screen doesn't specify a font size for the input field

Sorry, didn't see that fix for bug 36251.

I want to assert that the resolution for that bug is flawed.  The
canonical font for Human seems to be "Bitstream Vera Sans" and not
"Sans".

Also, the input box is too small for "Bitstream Vera Sans 12".  If we
want to use a 12-point font face, then you'll have to make the input box
larger.  Otherwise, drop it to a 10-point face.

Thanks!

** Summary changed:

- Human login screen doesn't specify a font size for the input field
+ Human login screen specifies the wrong font face for the input field

** Description changed:

- The Human login screen just relies on the default font size for the
- input field.  Since the dimensions of that field are constrained, it may
- appear to be too small to contain the text.

- The attached patch adds a specific size.
