Bug#578813: Changed my fonts to too big size permanently

Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.0-2
Severity: important
I installed GDM3 instead of GDM. When I was logging in, I clicked that
Accessibility options -icon. I tired out, what will happen, if I click
that option that changes font size to bigger. I did not like it, so I
disabled that option.
After logging in all my fonts are way too big! Even fonts in titlebar
of my window manager.
My desktop system is LXDE and it uses FVWM2 as its window manager.
FVWM2 reads its settings from it own plain text configuration file,
but somehow GDM3 was able to fuck all up. Did it change resolution of
all fonts, as dot per inch? Where did it put that setting?
It is also very irritating, when my GNU Emacs has way too big fonts
and therefore too big window, although even that setting is in plain
text configuration file.
Now I will delete my .gnome*-directories and install GDM back.
