Gnumeric 1.1.7-1 is not, nor has it ever been in sid. It has only been in
project/experimental, where it has been replaced by newer builds (currently
1.1.8-2).
Install the sid version (currently 1.0.9-5) and thing should be fine.

That's a known issue which I hope to fix in 1.1.9-1.

1.1.8-2 properly registers its schemas with gconf, so this is probably fixed
or at least easy to change now.

I don't claim to understand GNOME(2)'s font handling; you may want to check
the debian-gtk-gnome list archives or ask on that list.
