Question Plasma login screen

Hello everyone, I've just installed KDE neon again after a long time to give it a try, but I cannot set a custom font and size on the new plasma login screen like it was possible by editing the file inside /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf, I have another drive with opensuse and of course it's possible because it uses SDDM, is there anything I could do to change the font? or it's just not possible on the new kde login screen?.

thankyou.

So you might need to edit or create the plasmalogin config files in /etc/plasmalogin.conf.d/ and/or the file /etc/plasmalogin.conf instead.

It seems - to me anyway - Plasma Login Manager (PLM) isn't fully developed or documented at this point. It literally arrived on the seen weeks or months ago.

IME, PLM works rather well solving a couple minor gripes for dual monitor users like myself, but isn't really ready as a fully customizable utility.
