I think this has to do with gtk fonts. You should have a file named 
.gtkrc-2.0 (supposing you're using gtk+ 2) in your home. Mine looks like 
this:

include "/Programs/GTK+/2.12.1/share/themes/Industrial/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

style "user-font"
{
  font_name="Tahoma 10"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

include "/Users/macco/.gtkrc-2.0.mine"

gtk-font-name="Tahoma 10"

Where Industrial is a theme I installed with the package 
gnome-theme-files (iirc). Try to play with the font_name and the 
gtk-font-name options and see what happens.
