This might not answer your question, but I'll give it a try.
I did a quick test, using an URW font by selecting Applications/Desktop 
Preferences/Font on Gnome2; the font was antialiased.

I checked the GDK_USE_XFT env. variable, it hadn't set to 1, but the AA 
worked. It might be that Gnome2 uses AA as the default.

gdm needs the 'fixed' fonts.

You can always set the default fonts for those.
