Small fonts when using gdm

[Bill Moseley <moseley@hank.org>]

I installed gdm yesterday and all the fonts are much smaller.  It's only the 
fonts that are smaller.

If I start in a different runlevel that doesn't have gdm, and then I just run 
startx fonts are fine.  So I suppose it's how X is being started when I use 
gdm.

My goal is to be able to figure these things out on my own -- eventually -- 
but I don't understand the process of how X is started (for the two methods) 
so that I can compare them.

Pointers, tips?

If this is the wrong forum for this question please let me know.

PS -- please type big when responding ;)

Thanks,
