That's pretty close to what I ended up doing. I (mostly) cloned the
/etc/gtk/gtkrc.iso-8859-15 file to ~/.gtkrc:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
style "gtk-default-iso-8859-15" {
fontset = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1,\
-*-arial-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1,\
-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15,\
-*-arial-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15,*-r-*"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "gtk-default-iso-8859-15"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
...which gets most things straight. pan's fonts are still large (but I
don't use it much). Galeon, mozilla, and gabber are all kopacetic,
which is what counts.
Peace.
