Awesome! That's just what I needed.

For the record, I found that you can also call a specific gtkrc file at
the command line. This allows you to have different settings per
application.

GTK2_RC_FILES=/path/to/gtkrc someGTKapp

Hey, very nice tip! Yours is even better :-)

I find it very convenient because it allows to cherry picking the font
setting for every situation without the needing of affecting all GTK
fonts.
