If you are having issues with stupid large fonts on your login screen, I recently found this on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786963.

I tried it and it worked beautifully! Life is good!

In your /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file you will see a section like the following:

[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/X -br -audit 0

Add a dpi to it... the example was 96 and like I said, it worked great. That was the last great Ubuntu mystery for me, I am off to learning more and getting away from Winders.

[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/X -br -audit 0 -dpi 96

Hope this helps someone.
