That guide only mentions ~/.gtkrc. Recent GTK applications use GTK 2, which 
uses ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and the format of that file is different from the old one. 
The relevant section will be something like this:

style "user-font"
{
  font_name="FreeSans 10"
}

Where 10 is the font size in pt.

The switch and switch2 programs let you interactively choose a font for GTK 
and GTK 2 applications, respectively.
