Not sure, but on my system (Mandrake 9.1) default fonts in Evolution and
Mozilla were crappy, too. I solved it by creating a file ~/.gtkrc.mine
with the following content:

--- snipp: ~/.gtkrc.mine ---

style "default"
{
  fontset = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"
}

widget_class "*" style "default"

--- snipp ---

Your ~/.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 should have an appropriate include line. HTH
