I've solved it. I don't know why but my sid didn't install 
/etc/gtk/gtkrc file, so I created one and put into

style "gtk-default-iso-8859-15"
{
fontset ="-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "gtk-default-iso-8859-15"

Simply changing the font set (or adding new ones) will let you get rid 
of that ugly helvetica default font.
