Create a new gtkrc-2.0 file containing the following line:

	gtk-font-name="Sans 8"

Obviously, you can experiment with the font size until you achieve the
desired effect.

I seem to remember there is an option in the Control Centre to apply
fonts and colour settings to non-KDE applications. You might want to
switch that option off, since the results are mixed, at best.
