One thing you may want to consider if you are running Gnome 2 is using 
the experimental GTK2 Mozilla builds, instead of the plain vanilla XFT2 
builds. These use XFT2 as well, but it picks up your GTK2 settings, and 
 seems to work well.

I picked up the latest RPMs from 
<ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/experimental/gtk2/>, ran them 
through alien and installed the resulting debs. Using the classic theme, 
I get Moz looking quite like my other GTK2 apps. The menu font is the 
same as all my other Gnome2 apps, including the menu panel.

The GTK2 port is still a bit buggy, as the tracking bug for it 
<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92033> indicates, but I've 
been using it full time all this week and not had many problems with it 
at all.

I don't know if the GTK2 port looks at .gtkrc at all, I'd assume because 
it is GTK2 based, it wouldn't. Maybe someone who knows can clue me in here.

HTH,
/mike
