Out of curiousity, do you have a valid value set in the GDM 
configuration for GtkRC.  If this is set to a valid value, it might
affect how fonts look.  The problem may be you have it set to an
invalid file?

If that doesn't fix the problem, I'd be happy to accept a patch to
default to a reasonable fontsize.
