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.
