Log out

Ctrl+Alt+F1

Login and run these two commands

export DISPLAY=:0.0
sudo -u gdm gnome-control-center

Then Ctrl+Alt+F7 or F8

You don't need to log out. That command alone will do the trick:

sudo -u gdm gnome-control-center

but in gnome-control-center, in the gdm options there is no option to change font

To change the fonts, use the following command:

sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties

Click on the FONTS tab and select the fonts of your choice.

For a more comprehensive customization of GDM, check out the link at the beginning of this thread:

Hope it works for you.

Well this is strange, because the above command changes the fonts in the login screen (GDM). I just double checked it in 10.04 and my fonts were changed.

Are you entering the entire command:

sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties

If you only enter:

gnome-appearance-properties

only your desktop fonts will be changed.
