whatever it's called. You can do it like this:

eval $(strings /proc/$(ps aux | grep [g]dmgreeter | awk -- '{print
$2}')/environ | grep XAUTHORITY)

Same thing for DISPAY:

eval $(strings /proc/$(ps aux | grep [g]dmgreeter | awk -- '{print
$2}')/environ | grep DISPLAY)

This is most likely a GNOME-setting. Check out your font settings. In
the top of the window there's a DPI-setting. I believe the default
setting is 96. This is why we need the settings BEFORE GNOME is started
to determine where the problem stems from.
