If you can figure out which standart font is colsest to standart ISO
8859-1 then make gtkrc.cr (I am not sure about lang. symbol, should it
be hr or cr?) and ask someone to make it part of Gtk+. Right now there
are just gtkrc.ru, gtkrc.ko, and gtkrc.ja and they are installed in
$(prefixs)/etc/gtk/ directory

File should look like that:

style "default" {
       fontset = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*,\
                  -biznet-aplos-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2"

class "GtkWidget" style "default"
