I confirm this bug in 8.04 Beta on an Dell XPS M1710 with a NVidia video
card.
Steps to reproduce:
1.) Install ubuntu (fonts look good)
2.) Install nvidia driver (nvidia-glx)
3.) restart X
4.) username / password fonts are too large
Steps to fix:
1. edit /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/Human.xml
2. change /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/Human.xml
<item type="entry" id="user-pw-entry">
<normal color="#000000" font="Sans 12"/>
<pos y="2" x="2" width="-4" height="-4" anchor="nw"/>
</item>
TO
<item type="entry" id="user-pw-entry">
<normal color="#000000" font="Sans 10"/>
<pos y="2" x="2" width="-4" height="-4" anchor="nw"/>
</item>
Of course there could be other ways to fix but this worked for me.
