If your GtkRC line is empty, then I assume gdm is using GTK+'s default
theme.  I'm using the default theme myself, though explicitly.  My
config file contains the line:

GtkRC=/usr/share/themes/Default/gtk/gtkrc

Your good options are to use a theme that uses larger fonts, like metal:

GtkRC=/usr/share/themes/Metal/gtk/gtkrc

Or, copy the default theme and increase the font size:

cd /usr/share/themes/
cp -a Default Default-largefont
<edit> Default-largefont/gtk/gtkrc

The font is specified on the second line.  Try:
  font="-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-240-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1"
If that's too large, try 180 instead of 240.  Once you've modified the
gtkrc, point gdm at that rc file:

GtkRC=/usr/share/themes/Default-largefonts/gtk/gtkrc
