Generic answer:
Maybe you should just explicitly specify what fonts you want as
your menu, title-bar, etc font. Maybe you need to specify, say,
Vera Mono Sans instead of simply Monospace. That way you'd get
that particular font rather than the equivalent but "bad-looking"
monospace font installed by gs-fonts.
This is from my experience "fixing" the bad display fonts that
used to appear in Konqueror whenever I install or remove a font
package.
