I believe the ideal solution would be to adapt the default GDM themes to
use the common aliases such as Sans, Serif and Monospace, instead of
specifying individual fonts.
I would mark this as an upstream bug for the GDM package at GNOME (hint,
hint, who wants to do this?)

The themes from GNOME seem to use the alias Sans (I check with gdm-2.17.6) .
Its just the edgy/feisty gdm theme that doesn't use the alias but uses
Bitstream Vera Sans Bold instead.
Replaces Bitstream Vera Sans with Sans.

I had a chat with Athanasios and we concluded that the GDM themes do
come from Ubuntu (and not from upstream GDM), from the packages
mentioned in this report.
The clean solution is for the themes to reference the Sans/Serif/etc
font aliases instead of individual fonts.
I recommend applying this

I can also confirm this bug in edgy. The gdm font is ugly with greek
text, exactly as shown at the screenshots posted by Athanasios Lefteris
