 Hi Alexey,

 File /etc/gtk/gtkrc.${LANG} defines default fontset used by gtk under that
locale.
 But you should add similar constructs to .gtkrc to override defaults. Gnome
Control Center edits it for example when you override font.

 I personally dumped fontset definitions from /etc/gtk/gtkrc.ru since XLib
behaves very strange at allocating fonts in fontset (it seemed to me that
it's impossible to make fontset containing fonts  I needed - XLib was
loading some falbacks for unknown reason). So I use 'font' rather than
'fontset' keyword in my .gtkrc since it allows me to specify font precisely - 
but following this way you will encounter a nasty bug in gtk that will make 
all non-english words truncated in menus on buttons etc. Apply the appropriate 
patch from
	http://www.hippo.ru/~hvv/projects.html
and you'll get nicely and correctly working gtk.
