I had the same problem when I installed Lubuntu Next 17.10.

I also had to install the "lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings" package, as it was not included.
(I don't know if this is true of both LXDE and LXQt versions of 17.10, or just LXQt..).

Title:
  Lubuntu 17.04 LightDM Greeter panel font hard to read

Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The Host-Name and the clock in the Lubuntu 17.04 LightDM Greeter panel
  are either the same color as the background, or are almost so - it is
  impossible to read them, but it is - barely - possible to tell that
  they ARE there.

  I have looked in the  Properties->Installed Files  for the package, and discovered the file:
  /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf (and then found the apparently (originally) identical /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/30_lubuntu.conf file in my File Manager - Nemo.

  The only Panel options (changeable with "sudo lightdm-gtk-greeter-
  settings") are "panel-position", "clock-format", and "indicators", so
  I assume that the font-related aspects are derived from Appearance:
  theme-name.

  This defaults to "Lubuntu-default".

  The only other option is "Lubuntu-dark-panel".  This sounds promising,
  and I have now set it to that, but have not yet logged out or in to
  see if that solves the problem.

  I will report back to say if it is now fixed or not.

  As defaulted, it is impossible to read.

  I note that the Panel Font is Ubuntu Regular - 0.  I assume the 0
  means "get actual font height from somewhere else"
