I don't think the panel changes the font at all, and unless it does it 
should pick the font that your .gtkrc-2.0 specifies. If you didn't change 
any fonts in the gtkrc you should get "Sans 12" i think. Which is 
translated to X fonts according to the "sans normal normal normal normal" 
rule in pangox.aliases.

If you are using core X fonts, have no .gtkrc-2.0, and removed all the 
helvetica references in pangox.aliases and you still get the helvetiva 
font then something strange is going on. Maybe you have some font alias in 
the X configuration or something?
