gdm fonts are unreadably small

[Nix, Robert P.]

I'm fairly sure that the fonts are defined in the themes, and may not be global to gdm. I run my own theme on my system, and I'd be glad to shoot you a copy offline to try, and I'll look tonight or tomorrow to see if I can change the font size in my theme.
