Run gdmconfig as root and it should set you right. Under the "Login
Behaviour" tab (in the Basic options), there's a default font selector.
Alternatively, create a gtkrc file containing the font you want and
point gdm to it in the "Login Appearance" tab.
I believe gdm2 is not yet available in unstable.

GTK2 uses Xft2 which is configured through /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. Add
the following to /etc/fonts/fonts.conf to turn off anti-aliasing for
point sizes less than 13 points:
<match target="pattern">
<test qual="any" name="size" compare="less">
<int>13</int>
</test>
<edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
I like the look of anti-aliased oblique fonts though, so I want
anti-aliasing to happen for all oblique fonts regardless of size.
So I added another <test> element like so:
<test qual="any" name="slant" compare="eq">
<const>roman</const>
</test>
This way, antialiasing will be turned off for all upright fonts
less than 13 points.

I'm running Gnome2 as my main desktop, but to configure the fonts and
themes for Gnome1 applications, I'm using gtk-theme-switch. If you're
using Gnome1 as your desktop with some Gnome2 applications, I guess you
will have to manually edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0.
